What is DoxyPEP?
Your Shield Against Bacterial STIs DoxyPEP is a groundbreaking post-exposure preventative treatment for syphilis, chlamydia, and gonorrhea. Think of it as the morning-after pill, but for bacterial STIs. Take one dose after a condomless encounter to significantly reduce your risk.
It’s important to note that DoxyPEP does not prevent HIV, Mpox (monkeypox), or other viral infections.
Are You a Candidate for DoxyPEP? Consider DoxyPEP if you were assigned male at birth, are at least 12 years old, and have been diagnosed with at least one bacterial STI in the last 12 months or engaged in condomless oral/anal contact with an individual assigned male at birth.
