although yes, you can have sex with a person on prep. You would be better off using protection because there are other things aside from HIV out there gonorrhea syphilis chlamydia HPV so you would still want to protect yourself. And hopefully you could find a partner and get tested and be in a monogamous relationship and then have the type of sex you want
