My Dr. Prescribed Prep and then when I became single with the passing of my partner of 29 yrs. My Dr. Then Prescribed Dox pep then as well. Plus gave me all the information on it's use and when to use it. So glad that I have a gay Dr. that as a gay man makes it so much easier to speak about sensitive topics.
I’m a reader of clinic posters so I knew about PEP the first time I went on PrEP, but I thought it was for HIV and didn’t know it was actually for bacterial infections like chlamydia, and I should have been taking both. This is the first time I am seeing the prefix Doxy
There is PEP for HIV which is full course of HIV medication for a month after a risk exposure. DoxyPEP then it’s for bacterial infections as the doc describes
These episodes are very important. I really enjoy them. I've always been interested in talk show that discuss health in general. I'm more of a talk radio person, and i always used to tune into talk shows that discuss general health back in the 90s. This takes me back. Very interesting.
Loved this episode 👍. Dr. T you are very knowledgeable and love the fact you represent our community in a positive way, most importantly you bring FACTS and educate everyone! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Omg, these are guys are great!! A completely comfortable atmosphere and the demeanor of both of them make this channel/show an excellent place to learn. Thanks guys - big fan! Keep it up...
Look into the history of nonoxynol-9. It was taken off the market in the U.S. when it was determined that it COULD cause more infections from continuous use due to tiny tears in the skin, BUT I see that the rate of STD's skyrocketed when this happened. I believe this anti-viral, anti-fugal and anti-bacteria lubricate used occasionally will decrease STD infections. Thoughts Dr. Tyler??????????
OMG!! I'm the first to comment! LOL. I love this Podcast so far! Ok. So I'm in France, do you know if there is a French equivalent or generic that can be acquired in France. As you stated, some doctors are unaware of these things and my doctor is one of them. Also, I don't want to take the "wrong" recommendation.
15:22 So we can take one dose and have a fun weekend train ride and get the same protection? Asking for a friend. 😂 safe to keep a Rx on hand stored in the fridge??
Question for Dr. T: Do you encourage people to take DoxyPEP after each sexual encounter "just in case" or, if not, under what circumstances does one use it? Thanks.
Hi doctor, I’m concerned as I typically avoid antibiotics as it seems to reset my gut microbiome. How’s this different from a typical course of antibiotics?
Love you both.. Very knowlegdeable and intellectual discussion regarding health and sex orientation.. Thank you for giving us some enligtenment about doxypep.. God bless you and im rooting for you both, in a fan. ❤💚💙🌺🌹🌷🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭9
What a madness. At random giving antibiotics as post infection medication. The result will be resistant bacteria. In The Netherlands antibiotics are only prescribed when absolutely necessary. I am gay and use PreP, but using DoxyPeP sounds as a bad idea.
Multiply 7 billion (people) times 1% or 2 %, and it should give you a number, and you should give an idea of the numerical of people in that percentage.
