Great answers on here but I’m gonna listen to my ID doctor who’s been dealing with HIV for 30 years I’m taking doxy pep if I have unprotected sex. Not that I’m gonna have unprotected sex but in the heat of the moment not taking any chances

Yes! My doctor has prescribed it for me and I have a bottle in my cupboard right now. Since I don't hook up, I have only used it once so far. I think it's a wonderful idea, especially in today's world and if you are having casual sex. But even if you're dating, like me. You just never know. Better to be safe than sorry until you develop a confident level of trust with your sexual partner.
Doxycycline is powerful and has been around a very long time. It is a wonderful antibiotic for STIs and other bacterial infections.
I have had zero side effects from it, despite taking so many other medications. It didn't give me a headache or anything like that. I just popped the two pills, and drank a lot of water and that was it.
I highly recommend it.

Yea I guess condoms can solve all of these problems but we are all human and make bad decisions sometimes

Just take it before you have sex for whatever reason? I think it's good for now. Down the road, I'd wonder about super syphilis since they are still watching resistance.
