SH25044Preferences on the uptake and completion of single- or three-dose regimen of benzathine penicillin G injection for the treatment of late syphilis: a discrete-choice experiment




Syphilis cases are increasing in Australia, particularly among men who have sex with men, but adherence to the current multi-dose treatment is often low. This study found that most men who have sex with men preferred a single high-dose benzathine benzylpenicillin G injection over the standard three-dose regimen. These findings support the development of a simpler, one-dose treatment, which could improve adherence and help control the spread of syphilis more effectively.
