Doxy-PEP is not recommended except when the STI risk is far higher than this. There is almost no chance you were infected with any STI, let alone one that would be reliably prevented by doxycycline.

You should not self-treat. Chances of getting a VD in this situation are minimal. However if you are worried pl see your doc.
