High Interest in Doxycycline for Sexually Transmitted Infection Postexposure Prophylaxis in a Multicity Survey of Men Who Have Sex With Men Using a Social Networking Application.

ABSTRACT

Current strategies to prevent sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are not controlling the epidemic. The efficacy of doxycycline STI postexposure prophylaxis shows promise in pilot studies, but wider acceptability is unknown. A majority (84%) of diverse individuals using a gay social networking application were interested in doxycycline STI postexposure prophylaxis. Doxycycline STI postexposure prophylaxis should be examined in larger trials.
