I am exciting to publish our validated, lab-based model of oral gonorrhoea infection! With this model we can begin to understand how gonorrhoea behaves in the mouth (which is lacking) and screen for new compounds for interventions such as a gum to prevent infections. sti.bmj.com/content/earl...

DoxyPEP can prevent STIs but its effectiveness against gonorrhoea depends on the level of doxycycline/tetracycline resistance. Our new review from 51 countries and 80645 isolates found doxyPEP would be unlikely effective globally to prevent gonorrhoea infections. go.unimelb.edu.au/7wcp

We want to develop an oral product (e.g. gum) to prevent oral gonorrhea! Love to hear from you about what this product might look like. You must live in Australia & 18+ years old *Win 1 of three $100 visa cards* 15 min anonymous survey Survey link here go.unimelb.edu.au/232p or scan QR code

Any medical or academic conference that is scheduled to be held in Texas should reconsider. The measles outbreak is now >100. With no outbreak response, an inept governor, & a large anti-vaxx cult, there are no signs that it will improve. I certainly won’t be headed to TX anytime soon.

✨To support my one true love, an STI focused starter pack. Let me know who I missed as we still have plenty of spots! ✨ go.bsky.app/8UMcMcT

Of course we count on you in the #AMSsky starter-pack! 😉 go.bsky.app/7KcDc2n

Please join me with The International Pharmaceutical Federation as we talk about doxyPEP use and its public health considerations, particularly antibiotic resistance us02web.zoom.us/webinar/regi...

Pack for HIV and sexual health ! Thanks Tom

Here is my pack related to antibiotic resistance e.g. that can be generated by using an antibiotic, doxycycline. , after sex. Ineffective against gonorrhoea but better for syphilis and chlamydia. go.bsky.app/DQPufJc
