The foXXy doxy study is now OPEN in Chicago! We’re exploring whether #DoxyPEP—an antibiotic already approved to help prevent #STIs among men—can also reduce STI rates among #women. Swipe through to learn why the study is a step forward for women's #sexualhealth.
ENROLLING NOW!

Open in Chicago, more locations opening soon! Researching whether the antibiotic DoxyPEP reduces the rates of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) for young women.Doxycycline Post-Exposure Prophylaxis (DoxyPEP) is an FDA-approved antibiotic.
Doxycycline has been safely used for decades, including by teens for acne. When taken after sex, it’s been proven to effectively prevent bacterial STIs like gonorrhea, chlamydia, and syphilis for some populations like gay/bi men.

Think of it as a “morning-after pill” for STIs.Bacterial STIs can have long-term negative health impacts. 
Bacterial STIs can cause severe uterine infections, chronic pelvic pain, and infertility. But we don’t know if DoxyPEP is effective for more populations like young women, who are often left out of HIV and STI prevention interventions.So what’s the foXXy doxy study doing? We’re investigating whether two different methods of taking DoxyPEP can be effective for women:
- Taken after condomless sex (on-demand)
- Taken weekly
If DoxyPEP is proven effective, our findings will inform health policy and provide a new tool to incorporate into women’s healthcare.

MEET OUR NEW ATN SCHOLARS. The ATN Scholars Program provides under-represented scientists with the skills, knowledge, and network to excel as independent investigators in adolescent HIV prevention.April Bell, PhD, MPH
University of California, San Francisco
Dr. Bell is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Family and Community Medicine (FCM) in the School of Medicine at the University of California San Francisco (UCSF). Prior to joining FCM, she was a postdoctoral scholar with the Preterm Birth Initiative at UCSF.

She obtained her PhD in Epidemiology from the Indiana University School of Public Health at Bloomington. She received her MPH with a dual concentration in Epidemiology and Social & Behavioral Sciences from the Indiana University School of Medicine and her BA in Human Biology from Stanford University. 

Dr. Bell's research is focused on decreasing reproductive health inequities among women and youth by addressing the impacts of societal and structural biases on adverse birth outcomes, sexually transmitted infections, HIV acquisition, abortion access, and unintended pregnancy. Having worked extensively in both the US and across sub-Saharan Africa, she is interested in using both quantitative and qualitative methodologies, including digital storytelling, to bridge the expanse between US and African settings.Kevon-Mark Jackman, DrPH, MPH
Johns Hopkins School of Medicine & Bloomberg School of Public Health
Dr. Kevon-Mark Jackman is an Epidemiologist and Assistant Professor
of Pediatrics at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, specializing in adolescent and young adult medicine.

With a DrPH and MPH his work bridges health disparities, digital health innovations, and HIV/STI prevention. He leads research funded by AHRQ and NIH, with a focus on digital health and vulnerable populations.  Juan Pablo Zapata, PhD
Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine
Dr. Juan Pablo Zapata is a Clinical Psychologist and Research Assistant Professor at Northwestern University (NU), where he also serves as Associate Director of the Lab for Scalable Mental Health. Before joining the NU faculty, he completed a T32 Postdoctoral Fellowship in HIV translational and implementation science, where he developed expertise in adapting interventions for diverse populations and settings.

His current research centers on scalable interventions that can be delivered digitally or by lay providers. For example, he is adapting Keep It Up! (KIU!), one of the first digital HIV prevention programs recognized by the CDC as “best evidence” into a single-session format to expand its reach, given the barriers associated with multi-session programs. 

He is also adapting a lay-provider–delivered single-session intervention to support adherence among youth living with HIV, reflecting the bidirectional relationship between mental health and HIV. Dr. Zapata recently joined the LYPS ATN study, where he will contribute his expertise in developing scalable digital interventions and serve on the ATN Bioethics Subcommittee.
