Interestingly, the study found no significant decline in gonorrhea. Researchers theorize that
might be because the prophylactic window for this bacterial infection is smaller, with patients
needing to take doxycycline in less than 24 hours after condomless sex. Other studies have suggested rising levels of tetracycline-resistant gonorrhea may limit its effectiveness.

The study acknowledges that since the analysis was done at a single clinic its results “may have
limited generalisability to other non-sexual health-focused clinics or in different geographic
regions.”

• Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention’S Director-General Jean Kaseya, MD, has written a letter to U.S. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, asking him to lift travel restrictions on Uganda. It has been one month since Uganda saw a new Ebola case, and five days since the last Ebola patient in that country was discharged. Uganda had tracked 20 Ebola cases and two deaths in the current outbreak. :It’s time today to lift the status (travel restrictions), and then we'll continue to support DRC on the challenge they are facing,” Kaseya said. Uganda has argued travel restrictions have unnecessarily punished the nation’s economy. According to BNO News, the outbreak in neighboring Democratic of the Congo continues to grow, with 2,444 cases and 969 deaths.
