You are right in the sense that there is groups among the MSM community who feel emboldened by PrEP to have unprotected promiscuous sex. I've ran across this mindset myself. It's a free world but the mindset is short sighted: there is many other diseases who spread more freely thanks to the carelessness instilled by PrEP.
I agree that PrEP should mainly be seen as a means of derisking the worst case scenario of what happens when a condom breaks, falls off, etc. It's an amazing gift in the fight against HIV, but only for HIV, not the other diseases.
I wouldn't say this mindset is present in all gay people though, one should differentiate. Many gay people I talk to are very aware of the distinction.
