Comparing STI prevention strategies for Kenyan men
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This study tests two ways to prevent STIs in men who have sex with men in Kenya: taking antibiotics only when you have symptoms, or taking a single antibiotic pill (doxycycline) shortly after sex. It aims to find which approach works better for keeping you healthy.
