Gonorrhea Vaccine Study US and Thailand

[bridgeHIV]

"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.”
