I read online you can take a dose of doxycycline after performing oral, to ensure you don't catch anythjng. Anyone tried this?

An antibiotic

There’s concern it’s overuse may cause antibiotic resistance so it’s got to be considered from both points of view

It’s an option but isn’t guaranteed as the bacteria (gonorrhoea, syphilis and chlamydia) aren’t guaranteed to be sensitive to it. In addition it consists of a single dosage of doxycycline 200mg which may not be enough to kill a heavy dosage of pathogens. It is generally not recommended by NHS GUM clinics and its effectiveness is still under review

Is this akin to time travel?: not sure taking something after the event could PREVENT something! Still, ignoring me being pedantic, according to the NHS (in Scotland), there's no reliable evidence that doxycycline is an effective post exposure treatment.

If it’s a choice between doxy and time travel, I’m plumping for time-travel.

Is that not also used for malaria prevention or at least to slow it somewhat

Ideally within 24 hours although up to 72 hours, the bacteria needs time to replicate in the body to produce an infection and within this time frame it can be killed off

You can take doxy prep upto 72 after having condomless sex. But best is then within 24 hours.

You have to think if you take too much your immune system can b resistance to any other antibiotics.

Does anyone know how long you take after condomless sex. ?

It's the bacteria that become resistant to antibiotics not your immune system

Any then if passed on to someone else, will be resistant to. Unnecessary use of antibiotics is selfish, sorry no other way of saying it.

I've been using it for a couple of years and have never caught anything.

Best place to buy is from the Dr Fox website, and cheaper if you purchase using the listing under malaria prevention.

It's reckoned to be around 80% effective, which is a lot better than having no protection at all.

I was given doxycycline in hospital for community acquired Covid 19 pneumonia some time ago. It gave me intractable non-stop hiccups for 48 hours! It’s a recognised side-effect.

Try explaining why you have the hiccups to your wife!

Doxycycline. Its a broad spectrum antibiotic used for lots of things like sinisitis and Strep throat.

Not that it matters this time of the year unless you're flying off but can cause a skin sensitivity to sunlight.

Issued to PLUs as works against infecrion of gonorhea syphilis & chlamydia.

I have a few prescriptions of it but I have only taken it once so far. I just don't think I'm active enough to warrant it. I visited the sauna twice in one weekend and took the doxy on the sunday night.

Taking it after sucking one dick seems a bit excessive (the original post).

I'm going to a nude camp in a few weeks. 200+ naked men , no phones. IF I have multiple partners in that time period I will take doxy 72 hour later. It doesn't guarantee to protect you. And I am more so worried that people will over use it tbh. The end result that we get stronger strains of STI's. It's a double edged sword. I also can't imagine that sporadically taking antibiotics is good for you in the long run. They should be taken sparingly.

It isn't excessive at all if that one dick passes an STI to you. Doxypep is now NHS approved for this type of use, it's foolish and irresponsible not to take it when available.

Yet it has been used as Malaria prophylaxis for decades without any resistance. Would you believe that the chance of resistance is taken into account when making these clinical decisions? Or do you think it’s plucked out of thin air?

The malaria parasite is not a bacteria unlike gonorrhea that is bacterial and is showing resistance to doxycycline

I'm well aware of the risk vs reward taken into consideration when prescribing meds as I work in healthcare.

I will add though that I havnt asked for a single prescription of doxy - it's just handed out with my prep prescription every 3 months.

This is from an Aussie gov website - but the same can be found anywhere.

"May contribute to antibiotic resistance in your body, or in the community, and reduce your future treatment options for STIs and other infections. This may be important for people with weakened immune systems or chronic diseases, as they are more likely to have frequent or severe bacterial infections."

Obviously all meds come with Potential risks and side affects. My point was , not to take them on a whim after every bj.

I know from experience that many guys are taking it like tic tacs - which is not how it's prescribed. Also, the studies only have data taking the drug as prescribed. The clinical decision you speak of also goes on the assumption it will be taken as prescribed. Have you considered that ?

And you can't compare malaria to an sti and draw conclusions. It's not how it works. And anyway, malaria is caused by a parasite and isn't bacterial or a virus.

All I was saying was to be careful with it. Talk to your doctor as I have with mine.

STI clinics now give it out routinely.

As for use after purely one bout of oral that’s unnecessary

Theoretically STIs can be caught from oral sex.

But when you think of the thousands of men in here routinely swallowing spunk and the many thousands more of men and women out there doing the same then if oral was a good way to catch something STIs would be at epidemic levels

Yet they are not.

It’s penetrative sex is the main way they are passed on.
