Prime Last Month

Protection from bacterial STIs

DoxyPEP and Gonorrhoea vaccine are now available on the NHS. Over 1,000 PRIME members are already booked in. Both treatments work in two ways. First, they help protect the person using them. Secondly they help ‘break the chain of infection’ between people. Combined they could significantly reduce Syphilis, Chlamydia and Gonorrhoea in London’s gay men.

How can I get protected?

These treatments are a game changer for gay men. That’s why we want to make it as easy as possible to get them.

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 gonorrhea 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%. It involves 2 doses given at least one month apart.
