^The CDC has endorsed DoxyPEP for preventing bacterial STIs as an STD prevention strategy. Current efficacy data on Doxy-PEP applies to gay, bisexual, MSM, and transgender women. It’s recommended to have baseline screening and follow-up screening for bacterial STIs every 3–6 months at all sites of potential exposure. The FDA recommends periodic monitoring of liver and kidney function, as well as blood counts, during prolonged therapy with Doxycycline. If you are taking DoxyPEP frequently, it’s important to speak with your primary care provider for additional oversight and monitoring. Wisp treatment options are available only after consultation with a licensed medical professional. You should consult with your healthcare provider before starting a new supplement or treatment regimen. Individual results may vary.
