How to Treat a Chlamydia Infection
Chlamydia is a highly contagious sexually transmitted disease that can affect far more than just your sexual health. It is a commonly contracted STD. In the U.S. alone, an average of one out of ten young adults, mostly women, is likely to test positive for the infection.

The Call-On-Doc Guide to Chlamydia
As one of the most common STDs alongside bacterial vaginosis, chlamydia affects well over a million people in the United States alone. Having risen year-over-year, hopes of there being a decline in cases were curbed when the number of cases went from 1,579,885 in 2020 to 1,644,416 in 2021, but fortunately, chlamydia has not returned to pre-pandemic numbers. (1)
Formally known as Chlamydia trachomatis, the STD is most common in younger generations aged 15 to 24, with an estimated 1 in 20 sexually active young women in that age group having the condition. How chlamydia has become so prevalent can be easily explained, with the majority of those infected experiencing no symptoms and going without regular and recommended STD testing.

What is DoxyPEP?
Every year, it's estimated that around 374 million people are infected with curable sexually transmitted infections, most notably syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia. (1) Just in the United States alone, the number of annual infections concerning the same STIs hovers between 1.5 million and just below 2 million. (2) Such rising numbers, alongside concerns for antibiotic resistance STDs, have driven the scientific and healthcare communities towards advancing new methods of cures and spread prevention. That’s where the recent development of DoxyPEP has made such an impact on doctors and patients alike.
Designed to function similarly to a morning-after pill, DoxyPEP is an oral antibiotic that has proven effective against immediate exposure to bacterial sexually transmitted diseases. Most effective if taken within 24 hours of exposure, DoxyPEP is also known to reduce bacterial STDs if taken within 72 hours.
