    What about the risk for making more super bugs? I hear antibiotic resistant gonorrhea and chlamydia are on the rise in those very groups of people.

      Antibiotics are complex. Often it’s underutilization of antibiotics that causes problems.

      It’s entirely possible that specific, targeted antibiotics, used with the proper doses will not cause super bugs.

      The article addresses this concern. Doxycycline so far hasn’t produced resistance in PEP users but health officials need to monitor the situation closely.
