DoxyPEP in Sweden
DoxyPEP can be accessed in Sweden, but SHAPE's review did not find it reimbursed.
Available, not reimbursed
Sweden's Public Health Agency reports that DoxyPEP is used with and without prescription, but no national recommendation has been established. It may reduce syphilis and chlamydia among higher-risk men who have sex with men and transgender women, while benefit against gonorrhoea is considered unlikely because of widespread doxycycline resistance. National reimbursement was not confirmed. [Source: https://www.folkhalsomyndigheten.se/publikationer-och-material/publikationsarkiv/d/doxy-pep-i-sverige/]
