A big THANK YOU to everyone who took part in the GoGo Vax trial at Sydney S*xual Health Centre. Your contribution is helping advance research into better ways to prevent gonorrhoea.

Results from this large study show that the meningococcal B vaccine did not prevent gonorrhoea among gay and bis*xual men. While this outcome may not be what we hoped for, it provides important evidence to guide future research.

In the meantime, the best way to protect yourself is by using condoms or dental dams, along with water-based lubricant, for vaginal, a**l and oral s*x. Regular STI testing is also important.

Good news - more GPs are now bulk billing! If you need an STI test, your local GP can help - and many provide bulk billed appointments, meaning Medicare covers the cost with no out of pocket fee.

Even better, getting checked out with your local GP could get you seen faster than waiting to been seen at a s*xual health clinic.
