What is DoxyPEP?-  It involves taking a prescribed dose of doxycycline after sex to lower your chances of acquiring certain bacterial infections, such as syphilis, chlamydia, and in some cases, gonorrhoea.

DoxyPEP is not a substitute for HIV PrEP but can be used alongside it for broader protection.

 

How does DoxyPEP work? ➕

Doxycycline is an antibiotic that prevents bacteria from multiplying in the body.

When taken shortly after exposure, it can help stop the establishment of common bacterial STIs.

 

Effectiveness ✅

  • Studies show DoxyPEP can reduce the risk of syphilis and chlamydia by up to 70% in certain populations.

  • It may also provide partial protection against gonorrhoea, though effectiveness is lower.

  • It does not protect against HIV, viral STIs (herpes, HPV, hepatitis), or pregnancy.

Who should consider DoxyPEP? 

  • People with multiple partners and inconsistent condom use.

  • Men who have sex with men (MSM) and other high-risk groups.

  • People with a recent history of STIs.

  • Anyone seeking additional protection alongside PrEP.
