Doctors and charities call for gonorrhoea vaccine roll-out

Max, who creates educational online content on sexual health and wellbeing aimed at gay and bisexual men, says he would "absolutely" take the vaccine if he was offered it.

He shared his own gonnorhoea diagnosis online and believes we should be more open about discussing STIs to reduce the stigma around them.

"There's a lot of shame around it," he says.

"People think it's dirty. I felt like talking about it online not only normalised getting tested and having the treatment, but also took away the shame.

"Even if you're doing everything right, you can still get an STI".

The latest data on STIs shows under-25s, black men and gay and bisexual men are most likely to catch gonnorhoea.

Max says he's often had to work harder to get information on sexual health which he didn't get in school.

"I think as queer people we have to go out of our way to get the information," he says.

"It's not something we're actively taught".

Phil and The Love Tank also campaign for a wider use of Doxy-PEP, where the antibiotic doxycycline is taken in advance of sex to prevent some sexually transmitted bacterial infections being caught.

Neither Doxy-PEP nor the MenB vaccine are currently offered for free on the NHS in sexual health clinics, but can be bought through online pharmacies.

Both Boots and Superdrug offer private vaccination on the High Street for £110 per dose.

Phil thinks it's important, though, that MenB is available to anyone who needs it, and says funding for drugs like PrEP to prevent HIV, and vaccines for mpox - formerly referred to as monkeypox - have come too late.

"We have not learned from the past," says Phil.

"We need to learn from mistakes and try to provide people with resources, vaccines and medications. Surely we should be taking care of people's health".
