Summary
This study tested whether taking doxycycline pills for 14 days works as well as a single penicillin shot for curing early syphilis. About 200 adults with early-stage syphilis took part. The goal was to see if the pill option is a safe and effective alternative, especially when penicillin is in short supply.
