what is the most common uses for doxycycline

Hi Doc,
My question is: Why would a doctor perscribe doxycycline. I found an empty pill bottle in my trash belonging to my husband. He was tested for an std in early april, and told me it was negative. I latr recieved a statement from our insurance company listing treatment for infectuos agent, i askd him about it and he said he didnt know what it meant, i am afraid he is lying to me and may have an std.
