Perceptions and Acceptability of Doxycycline-Based STI Prophylaxis: Insights from Consumers and Healthcare Providers in Queensland
Findings highlight complex social and clinical considerations in the potential implementation of Doxy-PrEP. While consumer interest suggests a role for this intervention in STI prevention, ethical concerns and provider hesitancy require clear guidelines, education, and regulatory oversight. Future research should examine long-term implications for antimicrobial resistance and STI prevention strategies.
