Apparently GPs in Ireland are prescribing Doxycycline as DoxyPEP to people without any guidance on how to take 😡 Anyway for anyone who is taking DoxyPEP - regardless of where you’re accessing this handy community guideline we wrote should help man2man.ie/doxypep/

DoxyPEP

DoxyPEP is a relatively new way of preventing some sexually transmitted infections (STIs) by using doxycycline after condomless sex, including oral sex.

Don't forget to apply for your European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) if you're travelling abroad. It covers you for free or reduced cost healthcare when you are on holiday, or on a short-term stay in Europe. You can store your EHIC on the HSE Health App. ➡️ www2.hse.ie/services/sch...
