1 The CDC has endorsed DoxyPEP for preventing bacterial STIs as an STD prevention strategy. Current efficacy data on Doxy-PEP applies to gay, bisexual, MSM, and transgender women. It’s recommended to have baseline screening and follow-up screening for bacterial STIs every 3–6 months at all sites of potential exposure. The FDA recommends periodic monitoring of liver and kidney function, as well as blood counts, during prolonged therapy with Doxycycline. If you are taking DoxyPEP frequently, it’s important to speak with your primary care provider for additional oversight and monitoring. Wisp treatment options are available only after consultation with a licensed medical professional. You should consult with your healthcare provider before starting a new supplement or treatment regimen. Individual results may vary. Common doxycycline side effects include nausea, vomiting, upset stomach, loss of appetite, mild diarrhea, skin rash, darkened skin, and vaginal irritation. Not recommended if pregnant, breastfeeding, or allergic to tetracycline antibiotics. It’s recommended to undergo STI testing at the start of treatment and every 3-6 months while using DoxyPEP.
2 PrEP (pre-exposure prophylaxis) is a prescription medication used to help reduce the risk of HIV-1 infection in individuals who are HIV-negative and at high risk. PrEP does not protect against other sexually transmitted infections (STIs) or pregnancy. You must test negative for HIV before starting PrEP and be retested regularly while taking it. PrEP must be taken as prescribed to be effective. Side effects may occur. See site for details.
3 Insufficient sample collection may result in a false negative or inconclusive results. This test does not replace in-person care.
