Session Description: Doxycycline ("DoxyPEP") has been approved by the CDC for post-exposure prophylaxis for certain populations. In Florida, the doxyPEP guidelines that I developed are inclusive of all populations. Since approval, doxyPEP has generated a lot of conversation and debate, including questionable future antibiotic resistance, changes in gut microbiome, side effect profile, use in women, and more. These will all be explored and discussed during my presentation.
Learning Objectives:
Upon completion, participants will be able to define doxyPEP and identify the populations for which it is approved for.
Upon completion, participants will be able to identify and address concerns related to doxyPEP usage.
Upon completion, participants will be able to form their own scientific opinions regarding doxyPEP based on information learned in today's presentation.
