"Wouldn’t it be freeing to never have to worry about gonorrhea ever again?" Check out this article written and shared by San Francisco AIDS Foundation on Bridge HIV's gonorrhea vaccine study. SFAF's Emily Land interviewed our Dr. Hyman Scott about the importance of finding an gonorrhea vaccine. “Bacterial meningitis and gonorrhea infections are both caused by Neisseria bacteria,” said Hyman Scott, MD, from Bridge HIV and San Francisco AIDS Foundation. “The bacteria share a lot of similar structures, which is why the vaccine may work to prevent both types of infection.” For more information about the study, visit our website: [think before following links] https://helpfighthiv.org/gonvax/ [think before following links] https://www.sfaf.org/collections/beta/promising-gonorrhea-vaccine-may-prevent-40-of-cases/ THIS STUDY IS OPEN TO PEOPLE LIVING WITH HIV Additional sites that are recruiting: University of Alabama at Birmingham School of Medicine UCLA Clinical AIDS Research and Education (CARE) Center Emory University Hospital Midtown (Atlanta, Georgia) Cook County Health and Hospitals System - Ruth M Rothstein CORE Center (Illinois) Indiana University School of Medicine - Infectious Diseases LSU - CrescentCare Sexual Health Center (Louisian) Walter Reed National Military Medical Center (Maryland) Harlem Prevention Center, Columbia University, Mailman School of Public Health University of Pennsylvania HIV/AIDS Prevention Research Division The Thai Red Cross AIDS Research Centre Armed Forces Research Institute of Medical Sciences - Royal Thai Army Clinical Research Center
