If taken correctly: Doxycycline is one of the most commonly used antibiotics for Chlamydia infection. It should be taken consistently twice a day for 10 days. It is always a good idea to have a repeat test 1-2 weeks after finishing the medication, to ensure that the chlamydia is gone (called a test for cure).

I realize doxycycline for 2 weeks 2x100mg/day can treat primary syphilis. But what about incubating syphilis (before any symptoms present)? Could starting 10 days of doxycycline (2x100mg/day) within 24-48hrs post exposure prevent infection?
