Reality star and singer Tamar Braxton is exercising extreme caution while dating men in Atlanta, Georgia.
In a new video shared to social media, the reality star said she’s taking precautions while on the dating scene in Atlanta, where 1 in 3 men are diagnosed with HIV, the virus that causes AIDS.
Tamar revealed that she is currently taking PrEP (pre-exposure prophylaxis), a medication that blocks the HIV virus from replicating inside cells in the body.
The PrEP drug is prescribed for sexually active men and women. Tamar is aware that the men she dates in Atlanta may be dating other men.
Atlanta is known for its large ghey scene where men date both men and women.
Tamar has dated ghey and trans (gworls) in the past. Which is why she takes PrEP to be on the safe side.
“I’m on PrEP, and I will tell everybody get on PrEP because prepare yourself for the streets,” she said in the video.
“It’s important to take care of yourself, no matter what your relationship status is,” Tamar said in the video. “And I’m just being honest about what that looks like for me.”
Tamar is back on the market after recently breaking up with ex-fiancé Jeremy Robinson (pictured below).
Tamar said the dating scene in Atlanta has changed over the years. Men who sleep with men are stepping outside of the ghey scene to pursue high-value women like Tamar.
“People don’t always play fair, and you’ve got to be careful,” she said. “But I’m out here, I’m trying, and I’m making sure I’m taking care of me along the way.”
Tamar cautioned women to take care of their health and consider taking PrEP.
“Like, all of y’all is dating the same dude,” she said.
Singing “Saturday Love” by Alexander O’Neal and Cherrelle Like, Tamara added: “It’s giving Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday love. Like what’s the name of the day that you got him?”
Later, she said, “Y’all don’t wanna date one on one. Y’all wanna date thirty dudes.”
