It sounds like your doctor is treating you for chlamydia with doxycycline, and against the possibility of undetected gonorrhea with ciprofloxacin.

Getting a shot for an STD will depend on the type of infection. Not all STDs have a shot as a treatment option, so it's important to get tested and follow the recommended treatment plan provided by a healthcare provider. Some STDs, like bacterial infections, may be treated with antibiotics, while others, like viral infections, may require antiviral medications or other treatments. It's important to have a discussion with a healthcare provider to determine the best course of action for your specific situation.
