Measure
Doxycycline and Biktarvy
Participants took both study drugs simultaneously at home and came to the clinic for a study visit the following day for samples to be obtained 24 hours after the single dose of study drugs. Doxycycline (DOX \[200 mg\]) is an oral medication used to treat or prevent infections that are strongly suspected to be caused by bacteria; it is an antimicrobial drug indicated for bacterial infections such as sexually transmitted infections. Biktarvy (200mg) is an oral combination anti-HIV medication that contains the drugs tenofovir alafenamide, emtricitabine, and bictegravir.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 24 hours after a single dose

Population: This analysis includes participants who completed the rectal biopsy during the 24-hours post-dose visit. Ten men and 5 women provided rectal tissue samples at the 24-hours post-dose visit. One male attended the visit but was not able to tolerate the biopsy procedure and no rectal tissue was obtained.

Doxycycline concentration in tissue from a rectal biopsy was measured. Rectal biopsies were obtained from men. Women had the option to provide a rectal tissue sample.
