Abstract
Appropriate, protocol-adherent, doxycycline postexposure prophylaxis prescribing occurred for 70% of prescriptions from our clinic. Most of the nonadherent prescribing was due to missed sexually transmitted infection screenings (89%). As utilization of doxycycline postexposure prophylaxis continues to increase, it is necessary to ensure appropriate follow-up and monitoring.
