Syphilis, be damned! DoxyPEP is a tool that provides flexible coverage to prevent bacterial STIs. This interactive workshop is an opportunity to learn more about the benefits of DoxyPEP and to consider – by working together as ‘risk calculators’ - how collective dosing strategies might help challenge stigma and antimicrobial resistance.
Hosted by: Benjamin Weil and Chase Ledin

The Love Hub Edinburgh Edition events are FREE. Please only book a space if you intend to come.
Access information: The Pleasance Cabaret Bar is wheelchair accessible with an accessible toilet.
Some parts of the seating space within the venue area are not wheelchair accessible/have some step access.
Hot and cold drinks and some refreshments (vegetarian and vegan) will be available.
We will have a separate room available if you need to take a break or have a quiet space. This is in another part of the building and is accessible by stairs and/or a lift.
Photographs will be taken at the event. If you would prefer not to have your photograph taken, please tell us and we will communicate this with the photographer.
COVID safety information: the venues we're using are ventilated, have HEPA air filters, and CO2 monitors (to measure air quality) - but that doesn't make them totally COVID, flu or common-cold safe. We'll have free masks available and request that masks are worn where possible. Got a cough, cold, or flu-like symptoms? Please take a break until your symptoms have subsided: many of us in our communities have to do everything we can not to get sick, including those of us with disabilities or compromised immune systems.
