Has anyone come across the use of doxycycline as a prophylaxis to help reduce the becoming infected with some sti's. Read an article about it being trialled with PreP and taking 2 x100mg within 72hrs post intercource. I assume you take the 2 pills 12hrs apart and soon the better really. Best within 24hrs. In the article it did state that you shouldn't take more than 6 pills a week to prevent antibiotics resistant.
The article said that there was an decrease in incerdences or chlamydia and syphilis but not much of a decrease in gonorrhea. However it was quite a small sample.
I was thing of try it my self and if it would reduce the amount of times I get chlamydia. May not help gonorrhea. Depends on whether the gonorrhea is resistant to doxycycline. From my understanding some strains are and some are not.
Any more light on this would be interesting to hear.
