"My friend moved in with me, and things have been great. He's a good roommate, and it's been nice to have my best friend around. There is only one thing: He has been inviting anonymous hook-ups over to our apartment, sometimes upwards of five times in a single day."
"I worry that a lot of these encounters, if not all of them, are unprotected. He is on PrEP and DoxyPEP, but it's still dangerous, you know? Not to mention, some of the guys he's hooked up with don't necessarily look like they're on the up and up."
"I've brought it up in a joking matter and he says he 'just can't get enough.' I worry that is actually what's happening."

The friend invites multiple partners daily, often disappearing during outings to meet new people. The concerned friend worries about the health risks associated with unprotected sex and the friend's judgment in choosing partners. Attempts to address the issue lightly have been met with dismissive responses, leading to uncertainty about how to approach the topic without seeming controlling.
