PRIME THIS MONTH

Exciting news for PRIME members

We’re now only weeks away from DoxyPEP and Gonorrhoea vaccine becoming available on the NHS. Combined they could significantly reduce sexually transmitted infections in London’s gay men.

Both treatments work in two ways. First, they help protect the person using them. Secondly they help break the chain of infection between people. This amplifies the effect and helps protect the whole community. The more people using them, the greater the benefit for everyone.

That’s why our team are getting ready to roll out the treatments as efficiently as possible.

DoxyPEP

DoxyPEP involves taking two 100mg tablets of an antibiotic called Doxycyline. The pills should be taken within 72hours after sex. Studies show that the medicine reduces the chance of getting Chlamydia and Syphilis by around 80%. Regular use of doxycycline can temporarily increase skin sensitivity to sunlight. The medicine can cause indigestion if taken on an empty stomach. It should not be used in pregnancy.

Gonorrhoea vaccine

Bexsero vaccine was originally designed to protect children from meningococcal B meningitis (an infection of the tissues around the brain). It’s been given to millions of people around the world and is known to be safe. It’s been part of the UK childhood vaccination programme since 2015. Studies show that the vaccine also reduces the chance of catching gonorrhoea by around 40%. That’s why the NHS is rolling out the vaccine to gay men and others at increased risk of gonorrhea. It involves 2 doses given at least one month apart.

Interested?

To register your interest please email your clinic number to caw-tr.56deanstreet@nhs.net .We’ll let you know as soon as we’re ready to go. When starting DoxyPEP it’s recommended to have a syphilis test. So closer to the time we’ll ask you to order a sexual health test pack from our friends at Sexual Health London. Please don’t call us or book a routine appointment. It’s important that we keep them free for our other services.
