  • Conclusions Saliva use as a lubricant for anal sex is a common sexual practice in MSM, and it may play an important role in gonorrhoea transmission. (bmj.com)
  • Almost half of rectal gonorrhoea cases may be eliminated if MSM stopped using partner's saliva for anal sex. (bmj.com)
  • 4 , 5 However, a recent mathematical model has shown that gonorrhoea would not be eliminated by consistent condom use during penile-anal sex as transmission can occur between other anatomical sites. (bmj.com)
