Doxy-PEP is a way to help prevent getting STIs including chlamydia, gonorrhea, and/or syphilis by taking the antibiotic doxycycline 24-72 hours after condomless sex. In an effort to advance sexual health in New York State, OSHE has recently developed and launched a Doxy-PEP webpage, and is also conducting a survey about using Doxy-PEP to prevent bacterial STIs.
The New York State Department of Health is celebrating the kickoff to activities and celebrations that will be taking place across the State during Pride Month in June and throughout the summer. Among the events, New York State Department of Health staff will march in Albany’s Capital Pride parade on June 14, and march with Governor Hochul in the New York City Pride March on June 28.
To ensure the prevention, treatment, and elimination of sexually transmitted infections, a more comprehensive community approach is needed. A syndemic approach addresses the intersecting epidemics of HIV/AIDS, STIs, viral hepatitis, and substance use, and therefore is better equipped to tackle the inequities and health disparities that persist in New York.
Our partner dashboards include the New York State Hepatitis C (HCV) Elimination Dashboard and the Ending the HIV Epidemic (ETE) Dashboard:
