Anyway, here’s a review (now dated) that covers a subset of the related literature: National STD Curriculum Podcast - episode - hot-topic - mouthwash-for-Gonorrhea-does-it-work - National STD Curriculum WWW.STD.UW.EDU

If it’s the Belgian (N=151) cross-over study of mouthwash timed appropriately in Lancet ID, I’ve seen it misinterpreted in attempts to summarize it. The odds ratio supports the finding of no difference, not a deleterious effect. The site of infection is not stratified (oropharyngeal, rectal, urethral). As with most MSM studies what is alarming is the extremely high STI rate among PrEP users. A reference to it indicates a subset of GC analyzed but it is omitted from the abstract and I cannot currently access the full Belgian paper. A second study from Australia analyzes a subset of mouthwash use at time of oral sex and found no difference. While it seems doubtful that antiseptic mouthwash is effective against the Big3 overall, it remains to be seen whether it may reduce oropharyngeal GC infection; mixed results thus far and a RCT for it specifically and with sufficient statistical power would be a challenge to design and execute.

Do keep an eye out for this year’s Soccer-Gate’s revised Canadian Women’s defending Olympian champions’ garb for the Walk of Atonement portion of Canada’s part in the opening ceremonies parade. They may even be stripped of their 2021 win over Sweden.

Or did you possibly forget to wash off the skin care facial clay masque touch-up prior to your imminent entrance at The Village?

The Tongan chap originally causing a stir in 2016 at age 32 did not qualify this year but is in Paris currently, I presume due to celebrity status or simply has funds. May need to tune in to aquatics for the shirtless crowd.

Resting and rising how many times?

Now every word including the Lone Star state capital is an Omen.

They’re off the privates in the privates.

O, Bozo

Context needed, although nothing can justify a racist put-down, not even hypothetical provocative shade hurled at an escort seeking friendship, such as: “Oh yeah? Well you’re just a low-level B-list porn star, which in fact just makes you an oxymoron!”

I’d say I’m curious as well but I’m also right up to date.

But throw in the air freshener for free?

The idea is that two things can be simultaneously bad and are to be discouraged: prostitution and equivalency of culpability. Selling is considered to be wrong yet not subject to punitive legal consequences. In our strip club content context the net result is abolitionist-lite but correct awareness of the legalities in Canada may have relevance in general.

Simply put, purchasing sex is illegal as of 2014. Prior to that only communication for the purposes of prostitution was an offence. The 2013 Supreme Court ruling only decriminalized sex workers’ selling of sex, prompting the new legislation that aligns with the Nordic Model. So yes, dancers do what they please with formal impunity, in contrast to customers. The door remains open for an exploitive consumer to face retribution, but that would be likely related to the abuse of a woman or child. It’s just that enforcement in strip clubs is little to none. The Montreal police have come into Campus as part of patrolling all commercial venues in The Village, essentially in the interests of community relations. They graciously refrain from entering the lap dance area, obviously aware of what’s up, and the club staff don’t rush into the area to urge the putting away of genitals. The clubs are perceived as a step removed and do not overtly directly profit from dancers’ earnings. https://www.justice.gc.ca/eng/rp-pr/other-autre/c36faq/c36faq_eng.pdf

Good to know HenryHen isn’t a Henny Penny doom sitch. Wonder if cluckolding is a subspecialty.

“You’re the best looking guy on the ad site. Too bad I’m male. Ph 555-555-5555”

He was on an American reality TV show within the past decade, at age 41, the series now streaming on one of the major subscription platforms. What one could hire him to do currently is a ‘sticking point’.

Überraschung!

I take in outdoor stage events most summers. A broad range of offerings that deviate from the jazz genre in a traditional sense. Bear in mind that Canada Border Services staff are in a strike position. You can Google “CBSA strike” to keep up with developments. They are obligated to work but could do so ‘to rule’, slowing down entry at geographical borders and airports, etc. There are two fireworks events that happen to fall within the festival dates. You can watch them by walking a few blocks south on Papineau in The Village towards the bridge.

That’s what I am coming up with basically as well for UK. If you didn’t already reach out to them, It may be a long shot because Lloyds liquidated this year but Lloyds Online Doctor may still exist as a separate entity. It is incorporated as a separate name: Expert Health Limited. The page on HPV stipulated, albeit ambiguously, that older males (>45) at risk could access Gardasil9 off-label and outside the NHS plan. The lead clinicians seem to be physicians with sexual health focus. Example: Dr Kieran Seyan. Gardasil is depicted as ‘out of stock’ but that may be due to the retail pharmacy chain’s closure status. Here’s the number. You might see if it is active and get a lead. I am not sure I would use the online consultation option before first determining by phone if it still exists.

At this point, consensus is lacking, although early in the outbreak the Canadian guidelines included authorization for a 2-year booster dose following summer of 2022 primary series of two doses, if infection risk still applied. But then that provision was de-emphasized a few months later, seemingly in the context of worries about limited supply and, well, it appeared the incidence curve was flattening and it was impossible to predict the state of affairs for 2 years forward, but here we are. That said, there is no strong indication of a secondary wave at present that would trigger the need for a booster dose. The likely priority if a repeat outbreak occurs would be vaccination for a majority of the at-risk population with no doses obtained; and a 2nd dose for single-dose recipients to enhance herd coverage at the higher level of immunogenicity, clearly a substantial minority of those having receiving any MVA-BN; followed by considerations of a booster dose particularly for those that received one or two fractioned intradermal doses in their primary series. If you are engaging in a high-risk sexual network microcosm where Mpox is less contained, even if case incidence is low within the total population, it wouid be more important to consider the additional dose if you could access it.

I had also been Vaccinia-experienced (Smallpox vaccinated), long before your travel-related uptake, and chose to receive only the single dose of MVA-BN some 24 months ago although I had access to the booster, administered subQ, if so desired. Along with the historical residual protection concept was the existence of evidence at the time suggesting that a delayed 2nd dose of MVA-BN yielded a stronger immunogenic response. Currently a very detailed paper has come out supporting the idea that a 2nd dose taken at this time two years on, obviously depending on whether a new incidence wave emerges, is actually better than having followed the initial recommended two-dose regimen. The single- vs two-dose efficacy difference at the current two-year point is not enormous because antibody decay following the second dose is more rapid. The above may be an important consideration for those MVA-BN-naive and considering vaccination uptake with or without the re-emergence of problematic new incidence. Interestingly, for those spared infection to date due to lack of pathogen exposure, two doses in 2022 appears to be less beneficial and to have been somewhat superfluous compared to an as yet delayed second dose, the benefit equivalence of which may justify a third upcoming dose some 23 months following second dose. I am still holding off on the second MVA-BN dose, balanced delicately against prospective case incidence patterns. D below is efficacy trajectory projected over a decade of time; shading is confidence interval.

Off topic, but I just discovered Tubi for older Nick Galitzine films. Seems to be a free supplement to Apple. He is a co-lead in Handsome Devil playing a student and Andrew Scott plays a secondary role as a teacher. (I just edited out some adjectives due to their plot-spoiler status.😉)
