NCT ID NCT04966507
First seen Feb 16, 2026 · Last updated May 23, 2026 · Updated 12 times
Summary
This study looked at whether using an antibacterial mouthwash every day could lower the chance of getting gonorrhea in the throat among men at high risk, including those with and without HIV. Researchers compared the antibacterial mouthwash to a placebo (fake) mouthwash to see if it was effective and if people would stick with using it. The goal was to find a simple, low-cost way to help prevent this common infection.
