Doxycycline postexposure prophylaxis for bacterial STIs: Prescribing patterns, use, short-term outcomes among 2083 patients in a Los Angeles Federally Qualified Health Care Program, and implications for widespread use.
Rates of bacterial sexually transmitted infections (STIs) have risen dramatically over the past decades. Doxycycline postexposure prophylaxis (DP) is a novel intervention to prevent bacterial STIs. Recent randomized controlled clinical trials reported high DP efficacy at preventing syphilis and chlamydia in cisgender men who have sex with men (MSM) and transgender women.

Utilization of Doxycycline Post-Exposure Prophylaxis at a Midwestern United States HIV/PrEP Clinic
Appropriate, protocol-adherent, doxycycline post-exposure prophylaxis (doxy PEP) prescribing occurred for 70% of prescriptions from our clinic. Most of the non-adherent prescribing was due to missed sexually transmitted infection screenings (89%). As utilization of doxy PEP continues to increase, it is necessary to ensure appropriate follow-up and monitoring.
