💊 Doxy-PEP: STI Prevention Made Smarter
Doxy-PEP (Doxycycline Post-Exposure Prophylaxis) is a new and promising way to prevent bacterial STIs—especially chlamydia, syphilis, and gonorrhea—before they take hold. At Uplift Healthcare, Inc., we offer Doxy-PEP as part of our commitment to empowering our community with cutting-edge, evidence-based prevention tools.
🔬 What Is Doxy-PEP?
Doxy-PEP is a 200mg dose of doxycycline, taken within 72 hours after condomless sex, to reduce the risk of acquiring certain STIs.
Studies have shown Doxy-PEP can significantly reduce the incidence of:
- Chlamydia (up to 80–90%)
- Syphilis
- Gonorrhea (less consistent, but promising)
It’s not a replacement for condoms or regular STI testing, but it's a powerful extra layer of protection—especially for high-risk individuals.
💡 Who Is Doxy-PEP For?
Doxy-PEP may be a great option if you:
- Are a gay, bisexual, or other man who has sex with men (MSM)
- Are a transgender woman
- Have had an STI in the past year
- Have multiple partners or condomless sex
- Are currently on PrEP or living with HIV
