We're out of here. This space hasn't matched our values for a while & it does so even less today.
We'll be rebuilding on Blue Sky & also find us on Insta.
We're consolidating all our previous TXitter accounts - including @TeamPrepster & @ltnsyph into one Blue Sky account.

Got questions about DoxyPEP (using antibiotics to prevent bacterial STIs)?
DoxyPEP's not yet formally available on the NHS but lots of people are talking about it.
Find out the facts in our DoxyPEP guide - queerhealth.info/lbgt/doxype…

We get lots of questions about why we prioritise multilingual translations in our work (including @TeamPrepster and @ltnsyph) and how we make it happen.
This brilliant new book sets it all out!
So proud to collaborate with @pierototoUK and @LondonMet_TI on this!

Our on-going collaboration with @Grindr @Grindr4Equality and @SHLdotUK is bringing awareness of online STI testing to queer Londoners.
If it’s time for a sexual health check-up and you’re in London, testing is available at shl.uk as well as NHS clinics.
Great piece from @BBCRadio4 by @JamesTGallagher + @Clare_Amy featuring @DrWillN of @TheLoveTankCIC talking about the increase in syphilis and our Long Time No Syphilis programme of work.
@ipso_reevo at @HomertonSHS adds amazing medical opinion.

In collaboration with @UKHSA our study on genomic epidemiology #Syphilis is now out @LancetMicrobe shorturl.at/jnvS1 We found evidence for separation of sub-lineages by HIV status & sexual orientation consistent with distinct sexual networks 1/n
Anyone remember the curtain of syphilis we created for @fringefilmfest 2019?
Like Syphilis, it’s making a comeback.

If you think you have syphilis it’s important to get tested as soon as you can. Left untreated, syphilis can lead to very serious health complications.
If you have been at risk call us on 01752 431124 to discuss testing. Its free and confidential.❤

Great to see our buddies in Lancashire using the LTNS materials to promote Syphilis testing in their region. Go have a peep.
Today we launch our #LongTimeNoSyphilis Campaign. Been “#GettinLaidInLancashire” and haven’t had a test for Syphilis lately? Now is the time. Order a free postal testing kit @ Ren-UK.com/LTNS

Sharing is caring. And we were really happy for @LALGBTCenter to adapt and use our LTNS programme to raise syphilis awareness in LA.
Want to share too? Gis a prod.
Research shows about 9% of UK HIV-PrEP users have also used antibiotics for STI PEP or PrEP.
This great new briefing from @aidsmap summarises the latest research and thinking.
