Infections were stratified by symptom status and resistance profile (ie, susceptible, ceftriaxone-resistant, tetracycline-resistant, or dual-resistant), with ceftriaxone the treatment for active infection. As resistance to tetracycline, not doxycycline, is monitored and reported nationally, we used this as a proxy for doxycycline PEP resistance. We compared the 20-year prevalence, incidence rates, and cumulative incidence of gonococcal infection, resistance dynamics (time to 5% prevalence of ceftriaxone resistance, 5% prevalence of dual resistance, and 84% prevalence of tetracycline resistance), and antibiotic consumption with baseline (ie, no doxycycline PEP).</div></div><div><h3>Findings</h3><div>Uptake of doxycycline PEP resulted in substantial reductions in the prevalence and incidence of gonorrhoea, but accelerated the spread of tetracycline resistance.

Similarly, the maximum reduction in the incidence rate ranged from 38·6% (14·1–83·6) with 10% uptake to 77·6% (68·1–84·7) with 90% uptake. Cumulative gonococcal infections were reduced by a median of 14·5% (IQR 8·4–21·6) with 10% uptake and up to 46·2% (26·5–59·9) with 90% uptake after 5 years, and by 6·5% (3·4–13·0) with 10% uptake and 8·7% (4·3–36·2) with 90% uptake by 20 years. In almost all scenarios explored, doxycycline PEP lost clinical effectiveness (defined as 84% prevalence of tetracycline resistance) within the 20-year period, but its lifespan ranged from a median of 12·1 years (IQR 9·9–15·7) with 10% uptake to 1·6 years (1·3–1·9) with 90% uptake.

Using quantitative RT-PCR, we quantified in raw wastewater the RNA concentrations of DENV and CHIKV (non-structural viral protein 1 [<em>nsP1</em>] and envelope protein [<em>E1</em>] genes) once every 2 weeks for a period of 11 months, between May 16, 2022, and April 19, 2023.

The pattern of occurrence of CHIKV was similar between regions whereas slight differences were found for DENV.
