Is DOXY-PEP right for you?

Is doxy-PEP right for you? 🤔⬇️

Doxy-PEP may be suitable if you’re a cisgender gay, bi+ or other man who has s3x with men, or a trans woman.

Currently, there's not enough research on whether doxy-PEP is effective for transmasculine people and cisgender women.

Australian s3xual health experts have released a decision making tool for doxy-PEP that you can find in our doxy-PEP article (🔗).

Check with your doctor if Doxy-PEP is right for you.
