If i have taken doxycycline 2x a day for six days, am i most likely not contagious at that point? i still have 8 more days of pills to take and will.

It depends...: ...on what you are being treated for. If chlamydia or nongonococcal urethritis (NGU), you should wait until finishing treatment before having sex. However, it is unusual to treat these STDs for 2 weeks; 7 days of doxy is sufficient and recommended by STD experts, so maybe you're being treated for something else. Check with the doctor or clinic treating you.
