  1. I'm off to the #BASHH conference in #Bournemouth next month, but my coach tickets mean I'm going to have to leave early.

    Just checking the program to see what I'm going to miss:
    + BASHH national guidelines
    + #Scabies Guidelines - What's new for 2024?
    + #DoxyPEP Guideline Update
    + Management of #Gonorrhoea Guide

  2. What is DoxyPEP and should more queer men use it to protect their health?

    From the article - "DoxyPEP is short for Doxycycline Post-Exposure Prophylaxis. It means taking the antibiotic doxycycline after a sexual encounter to minimize the chances of acquiring an STI such as gonorrhea or syphilis. Doctors are exploring it as one way to tackle the soaring STI rates in the US.

    "A study last year found that when used within three days after unprotected sex, doxycycline reduces STIs by more than 60% in gay men."
