Assess - By taking sexual history i.e about if there is new sexual partners if having more than one partners. 42% msm has two or more sexual partners. 35% has rectal gonocaccal infection. So reducing the prevalence of gonorrhoea in MSM requires the understanding why it’s so common in MSM. The anatomical sites of gonorrhea are urethra pharynx and rectum. Annual Screening need to be more frequent to reduce gonorrhoea in MSM. Pre- exposure prophylaxis had been implemented for HIV screening-every 3 months, this same intervention could be beneficial if use for MSM with gonorrhoea as intervention it could be sufficient to reduce this health priority Also an antibacterial mouthwash which was proposed.
Health education-
Sexual behaviour change - study had shown that MSM are high risk of transmission of STIs so encourage condom usage for safer sex, regular testing. Educate people on individual level I.e obstain from sexual actives during treatment, inform sexual partner/partners
community level intervention- address stigma and discrimination associated with mental health and drug and alcohol abuse.
Black African and black Caribbean MSM are disproportionately affected in different ways
continue with counciling in clinical setting. and sending referrals
Using social media to increase knowledge at a faster rate-regarding STIs prevention, improvements and promotion also will display transparency to public
