Doxy-PEP Part II: Where Are We Now?

In this episode, Dr. Marguerite Urban and Dr. Daniela DiMarco pick up from the November 2023 episode of Conversations with CEI, where they talked about Doxy-PEP for the prevention of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) covering updates on doxy-PEP since the last episode, and delving deeper into some unique aspects. Drs. Urban and DiMarco are infectious disease faculty members at the University of Rochester, specializing in sexual health care. They were part of the team who authored the recently released New York State (NYS) Department of Health (DOH) AIDS Institute’s guidelines regarding Doxy-PEP. This episode is a “part two” of Doxy-PEP. Drs. Urban and DiMarco review the results of a recently published trial from Kenya, and discuss common questions related to Doxy-PEP. Related Content:
