This study describes a sexual network consisting of 1 non-binary participant and 2 male and 4 female participants in Australia, 2018. Participants independently provided accounts of their sexual activity. Six of 7 participants had oropharyngeal gonorrhoea in the absence of urogenital gonorrhoea.
This observation supports a new pattern of gonorrhoea transmission in which oropharyngeal gonorrhoea can be transmitted through tongue kissing.
