I would recommend against it. HIV is just one of the nasties you could get barebacking. The only way to go is condoms. Plus, have you considered what happens if she test positive and she wasn't aware of it? You'd be providing a service to her and to community no doubt but I'm pretty sure that's not mission you're on hooking up with lb prostitutes in bkk

So on my last trip to LOS I had 22 nights and 8 different hotel stays.
I stayed here for 3 nights.
Backstory - one of the 5 LBs in the Wolf Pack lives out in Isaan and is a 'civilian'. She had implants in BKK a few months ago and so I fly her back to BKK once a month for a few days to have the check ups, do shopping etc. (There are no H&M or Zara stores in southern Isaan).
She chose this hotel, as its very close to the MRT station and 5 minutes walk to the clinic. She also wanted to save me money. As I said, a civilian!
I decided to join her there for 3 nights, so as to avoid any potential problems with the other Wolf Pack members...
How can I describe the CMYK?
A Chinese version of Fawlty Towers maybe? If you were in the right frame of mind, you could laugh it all off and it certainly is cheap. But not my cup of tea.
The guests and staff all stared at me every day as I was the only farang there over 3 nights. They probably wondered if I was lost?
The original room was spartan and had NO windows! It felt like a gaol cell.
I managed to get an upgrade for the next 2 nights, and that room was much better, but the shower flooded every time it was used.
Breakfast was 99% oriented to the Chinese guests, which is fair enough, as they are 99.997% occupied by Chinese mainland guests.
Positives - it was very cheap and clean and walking distance to the MRT.  It is also an experience I can look back at and laugh.
If you walk down soi 4 to the main road and turn right by 7-11 there is a great dim sum place across the street.
If you walk out the hotel and turn right there is a great laundry which did same day service - THB 100 for about 3 Kgs.
There was also a very good chicken noodle soup shop near to the laundry - THB 40!
These prices just highlight the differences as to what farangs pay around Sukhumvit, just 4 MRT stops away.
A really good benefit was the massage joint downstairs inside the hotel. On the first night I went in with the LB and had a great massage from a GG who had great tits. The next night the LB wanted to kip, so I feigned a pulled muscle and headed on back downstairs. Great happy ending massage from the GG. I never got her Line address, damn!
By the back entrance to the hotel is Mr Tip, who runs a tour guide service etc. He was really good and I got a ride from him back to Citrus soi 13 for THB 200 in the pouring rain. Good driver and great English. He is an ex-civil servant.
Would I stay there again?
No chance!
I have booked the LB Wolf Pack member into the place across the street which is more expensive, but looks a lot nicer.
Would I go back to the massage place to find that GG again, oh yes! I would also repeat the chicken place and the dim sum joint.
Cheers

I know most pharmacies are lax about things like prescriptions but are they really handing out ARVs over the counter?

I'm assuming you do test for hiv on a regular basis. If not then do yourself a favour and go test. Taking Truvada on its own if you were hiv positive would be a bad mistake.

In silom pulse, if you come armed with a couple of recent hiv tests showing you are negative and you take a quick pin prick test they will give you Truvada there and then. They will take a blood sample and email the results of your liver function test within a day. It's not exactly as rigorous as the red cross I suspect but it's better then nothing.

I’ll answer my own post. Been researching the availability of truvada in LOS and there’s some really good things that I came across in the fight to prevent HIV.
 
Firstly, Truvada is owned by Gilead Sciences. They own a monopoly over the Prep anti viral drug. In first class countries, they’re the sole providers and creators of Truvada.
 
In LOS, India, elsewhere that is developing there are quite a few generic versions. Out of the goodness of their heart, Gilead does not pursue the generic versions for patent infringement.
 
In LOS, Truvada can be found be is upwards of 20,000 baht per month for 30 pills.
 
The generic versions are identical in compounds/ingredients and range anywhere from 600 baht to 1,500 baht per month.
 
Ricovir-Em is one such generic version created in India by the largest drug manufacturer in the world.
 
Teno-Em is a generic version that is created under the guidance of the Thai govt. easily available for 600 baht for the Thai masses.
 
There are a couple more as well.
 
Thailand has committed lots of money and research towards protecting its citizen against HIV.
 
The easiest way to access these drugs is to go to the Thai Red Cross Anonymous Clinic - close to Lumphimini Park.
 
I also canvassed many pharmacies in the lower Sukhumvit area and the majority don’t have Teno-em or Ricovir-em in stock but can order it and receive it with 24 hrs.
 
That’s how I got myself some Teno-em.
