Doxy PEP for Bacterial STI Prevention

Disclaimer: Per a court order, HHS is required to restore this website as of 11:59 PM February 14, 2025. Any information on this page promoting gender ideology is extremely inaccurate and disconnected from the immutable biological reality that there are two sexes, male and female. The Trump Administration rejects gender ideology and condemns the harms it causes to children, by promoting their chemical and surgical mutilation, and to women, by depriving them of their dignity, safety, well-being, and opportunities. This page does not reflect biological reality and therefore the Administration and this Department rejects it.

CDC released a web page in early December outlining guidelines, considerations, and tools (e.g., a palm card) for prescribing Doxy PEP for prevention of STIs. The webpage sums it up: "Doxy PEP has proven to reduce the risk of getting some bacterial STIs for gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men and transgender women at increased risk for STIs (specifically, syphilis, chlamydia, and in some studies, gonorrhea)."
