Doxy-PEP - Drastically reduces risk of catching certain STIs

[scubascuba3]

Just stumbled on this. Taking Doxycycline after condomless sex drastically reduces the risk of catching certain STIs. I'll be kicking it off in future.

But if you get Doxycyline resistant gonorrhea, syphilis and chlamydia, then you're truly ****ed.

What the moronic UCSF professor's research fails to address is the well known effect that the indiscriminate use of antibiotics has on bacteria - Antibiotic Resistant Bacteria. 

By promoting the prophylaxis use of Doxycycline, the UCSF researchers are setting up the sexually promiscuous segment of society (and the rest of humanity for that matter) with a future with pathogens that no longer can be killed with standard antibiotics. 

Here's a better idea that doesn't threaten the entirety of humanity:  Wear Condoms!

If it suits you great, continue.

not a very sensible approach .... kinda sets up an excuse for risky behavior which is downright dangerous.

Carry on wearing a condom if it suits you, you use dick pills?

Doxycycline is good to keep around, I always keep a strip of tabs, even on short one or two day trips. It’s also good prophylactic for dengue fever.

Never used them (condoms) ! any more than I would wear a coat in the shower ???? I am however quite fussy on where I put it.????

back in the days when I wasnt married of course.

Seriously, as others have pointed out , the misuse of anti biotics is not a wise road to travel. Their laissez-faire  use has led to the situation  that we have today , STD's that are resistant to treatment.  

 

Wrap up or get a steady partner who isn't sleeping around or one day you may be unfortunate enough to catch something  nasty that you can't  get rid of.

20.7% of sex workers in Bangkok have HIV.  Not very good odds even with doxy-pep.

 

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23512512/

 

Funny how the same guys who wouldn't think of going unmasked, or miss their vaccine, would take a 1 in 5 shot of getting HIV for lack of a condom.  Their right, I guess.  But then they pass it on.

I recommend those guys take PrEP also, it's ok for you guys who don't have sex anymore, or happy with boring sex with one person

When is the last time  you had sex? I mean "real sex", can't have that with a condom...

Can't have that with a hooker either, but I guess we have different understandings about the meaning of real sex

It should be understood thatthis research was conducting in the US and relates to antibiotic sensitivities in STIs in the US which can, and often do, differ in Thailand.

With STDs it's much better to be negative than positive...

I'd much rather have "boring" sex with one person (which it isn't) than sex with someone who only wants you to hurry up and get off so she can look for another john to squeeze money out of, all the while disgusted with a smile on her face.

True but STIs do come and go by plane to and from the US

I wouldn't recommend that either, who would

Doxocyclin not a good proposition if you stay out in the sun for long, like you would in Thailand.

What about a hottie that digs you and loves sex?  Hard to beat this trifecta with a random 1 nighter.  Had this few times in my life.  One dumped me eventually, one was bat sht crazy which became frightening, and I'm now, three years running, with the last  I hope.  Your mostly right though...

You still sunbath? most people stopped doing that a long time ago. Keep to the shade and don't spend too long in the sun, definitely cover up

PrEP on demand dosing can be useful if someone might have sex certain nights of the week like Fridays and Saturdays etc
