Gonorrhoea is usually treated with antibiotics. However, the bacteria that cause gonorrhoea have become more resistant to antibiotics over time, meaning they are becoming less effective in treating the infection.

The MenB vaccine may help to lower the chance of getting gonorrhoea and passing it on to other partners.

Gay, bis*xual and other men who have s*x with men
(GBMSM) are now eligible for the MenB vaccine if they
attend a s*xual health clinic in Scotland and are assessed
as being at increased risk of coming into contact
with gonorrhoea.

The Nordhaven clinic runs a drop in at The Balfour every Wednesday from 3.30pm - 5.30pm for anyone wishing to discuss this with a doctor.
