Abstract
Abstract: This multi-center case series examines real-world use of doxycycline post-exposure prophylaxis (doxy-PEP) among persons assigned female at birth (AFAB) at four U.S. sexual health clinics. Most cases were transgender men highly vulnerable to STI acquisition. Findings highlight early implementation patterns, safety considerations, and underscore the urgent need for doxy-PEP efficacy data in AFAB populations.
