DoxyPEP—short for Doxycycline Post-Exposure Prophylaxis—is a proven, prescription-based strategy that uses the antibiotic doxycycline to prevent bacterial sexually transmitted infections after sexual exposure. When taken as directed within 72 hours after condomless sex, it can dramatically reduce the risk of acquiring syphilis, chlamydia, and gonorrhea.
Doxycycline is an antibiotic that stops the growth of bacteria that cause STIs. When taken shortly after exposure, it prevents the bacteria from establishing an infection. Clinical trials show that DoxyPEP reduces the risk of chlamydia and syphilis by up to 80% and provides moderate protection against gonorrhea.
The CDC recommends that healthcare providers discuss DoxyPEP with:
Gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men (MSM) and transgender women who have had a bacterial STI (syphilis, chlamydia, or gonorrhea) in the past 12 months.
Individuals who engage in sexual activities known to pose an increased risk of infection.

Timing: Take 200 mg of doxycycline as soon as possible, within 72 hours after oral, anal, or vaginal sex.
Dosing: Do not take more than one dose (200 mg) in a 24-hour period, regardless of how many times you have sex.
Administration: Take with at least 8 ounces of water and food to reduce side effects. Do not lie down for one hour after taking doxycycline to prevent esophageal irritation.
Avoid: Do not take doxycycline within two hours of dairy products, antacids, or supplements containing iron, calcium, or magnesium, as these can interfere with absorption.
Large clinical trials have demonstrated the effectiveness of DoxyPEP:
Chlamydia: Up to 88% reduction in risk
Syphilis: Up to 87% reduction in risk
Gonorrhea: 45% to 55% reduction in risk
Does Not Prevent Viral STIs: DoxyPEP does not protect against HIV, herpes, HPV, hepatitis, or mpox.
Not a Treatment: This is a preventative measure, not a treatment for active STIs. Regular testing every 3-6 months is required.
Side Effects: May include nausea, upset stomach, sun sensitivity, and esophageal irritation. These can be minimized by taking with food and water.
Antibiotic Resistance: Researchers continue to study the long-term impact of DoxyPEP on antimicrobial resistance. Use only as directed.
Patients prescribed DoxyPEP should continue regular STI and HIV screening every 3-6 months. At these visits, healthcare providers will reassess the ongoing need for DoxyPEP and provide additional doses based on sexual frequency.
