Doxycycline ‘morning after pill’ cuts STI rates by 80%: largest real-world study
Researcher Dr Michael Traeger (PhD) says he hopes the findings encourage doctors to prescribe doxy-PEP.
Prescribing doxycycline as a morning after pill significantly reduces chlamydia and syphilis incidence following condomless sex between men, according to the largest real-world study so far.
The Australian-led US research looked at 11,500 men who had sex with men (mean age 40) who were already using HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP).
