Another reason why ALL reproductive clinics/screening needs to be more whyspread and Free. Regular screenings at residential homes/seniors has to become mandatory. You only need to have sex once, people. Your whole 'don't sleep around' solution doesn't work. Never has.

Gonorrhea will be the new AIDS crisis in the future, when the final fully antibiotic resistant strain emerges and starts killing people left and right and nothing you can do about it.

establish well-developed intentions and to purchase and keep condoms before they are in a sexual encounter, that is, before being sexually aroused. more likely to have used condoms where condoms were available Strategies that promote condom availability help to take advantage of this method to prevent STD.

Timothy Bucky says:

Clinicians should effectively treat patients with gonorrhea with an awareness of local trends of drug resistance in N. gonorrhoeae, and should perform culture and antimicrobial susceptibility testing of those with persistent gonorrhea after treatment

How about developing a vaccine against gonorrhea?

Iquey says:

maybe this is the thing that will help with the rampant human population. it causes burning feelings in the male genitals and causes sterility in severe cases. as long as women take birth control /use protection, the risk of an ectopic pregnancy is greatly reduced.

Marcelo Mendes says:

So what about the advice to public to how not be victim of Gonorreia?

The Bacteria don`t go from A to B by air….

Prevention maybe the key to extinguish the bacteria
