Hey guys, some questions about PrEP: 1) Nowadays, it's advised to take PrEP daily for 7 days before sex to be fully protected; how come you're fully protected with the 2-1-1, then? 2) It's advised to take PrEP 28 days after the last exposure; how come you're fully protected with 2-1-1, then?

3) I know there's a difference between MSM and women, men who have sex with women, etc, when it comes to PrEP. However, if I'm a guy who has sex with men, but I'm 100% top, should I follow the guidelines for MSM? Meaning that it's enough to take PrEP daily for 7 days to be fully protected, if my risk of transmission is always related to my dick, and never to my ass?

I live in Europe, and here doctors told me that I only need to take PrEP for 2 days to be fully protected (otherwise, PrEP 2-1-1 wouldn't be effective), and I understand that the same logic would be applicable to stop PrEP safely: it would be enough to take it 2 days after the last risky behaviour? What would you think about that?
