As a mostly top in an open relationship, I don't use condoms, just PrEP. Neither does my bf. So far talking openly about PrEP, last test, previous STDs / number of hookups with my dates and seeing how they handle the topic has worked pretty well as protection. If I feel that my (potential) date is uncomfortable talking about STDs etc. - or too much of a risk - I prefer not to have sex with them at all or just go for a BJ. Also, I would inform them and would want to be informed, even if they only suspect an infection. Getting that info from someone who is embarrassed to talk about it seems unlikely.
Plus: We don't have anonymous hookups and prefer regulars to new acquaintances. We get tested regularly with the PrEP prescription or when we suspect something.
Edit: If condoms make not much of a diffenrece to you, I'd always prefer using them. For me they take away too much of the sensation to enjoy it. I have tried it with condoms and would advise their usage, but it was not for me.
Was doing the same as you, missed getting the hpv vaccine in school (too old) and just finished my 3rd jab earlier this month... now the waiting game to clear so I can get back to my hoe bullshit 😅
Use protection ALWAYS....you can get rid of things but w an STD...wayyy too much drama to get rid of. Save yourselves all that hassle n drama USE PROTECTION end of debate...you'll be sorry if you dont....trust me!
Prep only protects against HIV obviously so doing BB without condoms makes you more at risk to other STIs
But saying that, Condoms aren’t infallible either, you could be super cautious and still catch something
As long as you regularly test and have check ups thats the least you do really
No right or wrong answer to this, its down to you
Condoms and PrEP. Having sex with regulars isn’t any safer than sex with strangers if those regulars are also hooking up with other guys. PrEP is a great idea—it protects against HIV, but nothing else. Hopefully you’ve also both been vaccinated against Hep A, Hep B, HPV, Monkey Pox and COVID.
Its whatever you are comfortable with. I’m top and my bf is bottom, we open and have sex with FWBs and we both don’t condoms, both prefer bareback. But we don’t do strangers or random people, we each have a couple of FWBs we know and trust, no randoms, and we both are on PrEP and get tested regularly. I’m not sure about his FWBs but both mine are also on PrEP.
If you’re on prep, you’re protected from HIV. Everything else spreads through oral sex at rates comparable to anal sex. So unless you use condoms for oral, there’s really not much that a condom is protecting you from for anal.

HIV isn't the only STI/D out there. Prep only protects you from one. Please use condoms, and get him to use the too!

I would also vaccinated against HPV with a vaccine that protects against most strains
