Is your doc pushing PrEP on you?

For the past year or so, my doctor has been encouraging me to consider PrEP (the med you take daily to prevent HIV infection). I've declined and explained to her that don't consider myself to be that high risk, and it's probably not worth it considering the side effects, increased lab work, and costs.

I have a half dozen partners, unprotected, all hetero, and none of them are pro SWers. I suspect that only 2-3 of them likely have multiple partners.

Anybody using PrEP? Thoughts on the risks, benefits, cost, hassles?
