Is doxycycline an effective sti prevention if a course is taken almost immediately after a unprotected occurance? thanks?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Because of the recent surge of syphilis cases, postexposure doxycycline prophylaxis has been instituted. Reasonable degree of protection against syphilis and chlamydia infection is expected. No protection against HIV or hepatitis B and C.
