If your infection is: caused by Chlamydia, either antibiotic should work, at least in my country But antibiotic sensitivity varies by location, so you should contact your doctor for more specific advice.

A member asked:

I took doxycyline 200mg for 7 days for an NGU. can this affect my syphilis test, i.e. make it false-negative? when should I test and be sure it is accurate and not affected by doxy, since 7 days of doxy would only be half the treatment for syphilis?
