The CDC Clinical Guidelines from US says the follows:

"In three large randomized controlled trials, 200 mg of doxycycline taken within 72 hours after sex has been shown to reduce syphilis and chlamydia infections by >70% and gonococcal infections by approximately 50%."

As you have mentioned the protection rate isn't extremely high, but for the price of just $5 it already does a very good job. So I would highly recommend other bros to consider buying this as well. Even with a condom I think this still helps since there's also kissing, BBBJ where exposures can happen.

Bro thanks for this info! I'll probably buy this as well since the price is really cheap - like the cost of a hawker meal nowadays, all for a 70% reduction in infection rate for the common STDs. Only 2 tablets post exposure sounds doable as well. Unlike HIV PEP which requires you to take a tablet for 28 days. I checked with my doctor HIV PEP costs > $2000. Too tedious and too expensive.

Also appreciate all the quotes and links from government sources you always provide. Always better to read from these reputable sources like CDC and MOH, there's just too much hearsay being thrown around for critical info like this.
