PrEP protects you from HIV, not everything.

It won’t stop STIs like chlamydia, gonorrhea, or syphilis. That’s where Doxy-PEP comes in. It’s an antibiotic you take after s*x to help prevent those bacterial STIs. Using PrEP and Doxy-PEP together gives you broader protection BUT neither replaces condoms or regular testing.

Interested in PrEP? Tap the link in our bio, visit our ZocDoc, and make an appointment with one of our providers today.

💡Do you prefer the daily pills or injectable?
