A new sexually transmitted super-bug has emerged and according
to experts, may be more deadly that AIDS and could cause an epidemic.
According to reports, an antibiotic-resistant strain of gonorrhea is
more aggressive than the HIV virus, which means the potential to infect
the public will be greater.
This strain of STD which is resistant to antibiotic, reportedly kills
half of those exposed and infects one in 20 hospital patients thereby
raising the threat of an outbreak to emergency levels.
Alan Christianson, a doctor of naturopathic medicine, thinks this new strain has the power to rack up more fatalities than AIDS.
He said, “Getting gonorrhea from this strain might put someone into
septic shock and death in a matter of days,” adding that it is very
dangerous.
Also speaking, executive director of the National Coalition of STD
Directors, William Smith said, “It’s an emergency situation. As time
moves on, it’s getting more hazardous.”
Like most STDs, gonorrhea is usually transmitted through unprotected
s*xual contact and if left untreated, can cause severe medical
complications, such as infertility in women, debilitating pain,
sterility in men and life threatening heart infections.
