A RANDOMISED CONTROLLED TRIAL OF DAILY ANTIBACTERIAL MOUTHWASH TO REDUCE PHARYNGEAL GONORRHOEA AMONG MEN WHO HAVE SEX WITH MEN (MSM)

Abstract

Gonorrhoea is a common sexually transmitted infection (STI) among gay men, and the throat is the commonest site of infection. There is early data to suggest Listerine mouthwash can be used to prevent gonorrhoea. Our study will examine whether men use Listerine every day will reduce the risk of gonorrhoea in the throat compared those who use another mouthwash product which does not have an effect on gonorrhoea.
