Sexually transmitted infections after implementation of doxycycline postexposure prophylaxis
Observed DoxyPEP uptake reflected strong demand among PrEP users when offered in a clinical setting. Overall, STI incidence declined rapidly after implementation, demonstrating the high impact of this intervention in a real-world setting. Continued evaluation of uptake, adherence and impact on bacterial STIs will be essential as DoxyPEP implementation expands.
