DoxyPEP is becoming less effective against gonorrhea as antibiotic resistance rises, even as protection against chlamydia and syphilis remains durable, according to study results published in The Lancet Infectious Diseases.
“We report a rapid loss of effectiveness of doxycycline PEP for prevention of gonorrhea in male individuals living with HIV or receiving HIV PrEP or PEP in Southern California,” the authors wrote, noting that their findings might merit revision of guidelines recommending doxyPEP for gonorrhea prevention.
DoxyPEP refers to taking a single dose of doxycycline—an antibiotic related to tetracycline—as post-exposure prophylaxis within 72 hours after sex to prevent sexually transmitted infections (STIs).

This is a burning issue.
The “sexual networks” of homosexuals is shocking. This is why a disease pathogen endemic within this population can spread like wildfire nationwide in months.
It’s like they effectively have “sex” with everyone else in the network. Add in a “pride month” celebration and that timeline is cut in half.
just wait until the bug chasers start having sex with rats so they can get hanta.
We already know what they do with gerbils
“Tired of the constant drip, drip, drip of gonorrhea?”
Does sex with rats and gerbils disqualify the bug chasers from donating blood?
Call Peter Rooter, that’s the name…….
No problem.
