Reply To: What is doxyPEP and would I be a candidate?

Worth being clear on what it does not do, because that is where people get caught out. It is aimed at bacterial infections. It does nothing for HIV, herpes or HPV.

So if HIV is the thing on your mind, the answer is PrEP, or PEP if something has already happened. Different tool for a different job.
