Raising awareness about doxy-pep for sti prevention
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.
2024 sti surveillance data now available
New York State’s 2024 sexually transmitted infection (STI) data — released in April 2026 and now available on the STI Dashboard NY — points to an encouraging shift in the state’s sexual health landscape. For the first time in years, rates of chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis all declined simultaneously, signaling meaningful progress in STI prevention and treatment across New York.
