Summary
This study tests whether taking doxycycline before potential exposure to STIs works better than taking it after exposure. 300 men who have sex with men will be randomly assigned to one of two groups and followed for 2 years. The goal is to see which approach better prevents chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis, and whether both are safe and acceptable.
