  • Review of evolving clinical evidence tracks safety and acceptability data, evaluating population impacts across two decades of rising bacterial sexually transmitted infections.
  • Equitable rollout highlights the urgency of monitoring antimicrobial resistance, while supporting provider training and tailored education for disproportionately affected groups.
