This article focuses on two key innovations in dermatology: post-exposure prophylaxis for sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and new therapeutic options for inflammatory skin diseases. New European and American guidelines for doxycycline post-exposure prophylaxis (Doxy PEP) aim to prevent STIs in men who have sex with men (MSM) and individuals on HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP). Doxy PEP is effective against syphilis and chlamydia, but its efficacy is limited by growing gonorrhea resistance.

HIV/AIDS remains a significant public health challenge in China, particularly among men who have sex with men (MSM).
