Dear BlueSky. I am interested in meeting people from LMIC who work in basic science field related to STIs e.g. mechanisms, pathogenesis, AMR or biomarkers for an upcoming conference stihiv2027.org. If you work in this area, please email me on kongf@unimelb.edu.au. Thank you!

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

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.

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
