Unknown Treatment in Philippines?

Hello all, I recently made a stupid mistake in the Philippines. Had roughly 20 secs of unprotected sex with a sex worker in the philippines. I was drunk and stopped after I realized the  severity of the situation. The next morning I was very scared and freaking out. I went to a nearby clinic and told the doctor that a condom broke during sex with a local sex worker. He mentioned a prophylaxis and antibiotics. I was worried about HIV and thought that this prophylaxis was for aids. He gave me a shot and a 10 day supply of doxicycline (antibiotic). After, I realized that this was for the prevention of an STD. I have searched the internet and have not found anything about STD prophylaxis. I am now concerned/wondering what Shot I was given. Has anybody heard of this type of treatment??

Thank you for your quick reply, I am going to get a 1month HIV test and then a 3 month test. Do you think my situation warrants this testing schedule?

Hello..

You may have got an antibiotic shot.  Nothing to worry about.  Your encounter was low risk for STDs.  No need to worry if you get no visible symptoms.

Cheers
