Hi, Blaylock,
YES, men can use clindamycin for a bacterial infection.
Clindamycin works for the following infections:
Babesiosis
Bacteremia
Bacterial Endocarditis Prophylaxis
Bacterial Vaginosis
Diverticulitis
Deep Neck Infection
Intraabdominal Infection
Joint Infection
Malaria
Osteomyelitis
Pelvic Inflammatory Disease

Pneumocystis Pneumonia
Pneumonia
Aspiration Pneumonia

Sinusitis
Skin or Soft Tissue Infection
Surgical Prophylaxis
Toxoplasmosis - Prophylaxis
Toxoplasmosis
Bacterial Infection
I get the feeling you have some clindamycin lying around and you intend to self-treat yourself for an STD. DO NOT DO THIS. GO SEE YOUR DOCTOR. Clindamycin will not get rid of an STD and besides you don't know the therapeutic dosage for using Clindamycin, now do you?
Be smart, Blaylock!
All the best,
Tony

Yes a man or woman can use clindamycin for an infection. It does not say for women only.
