Gonorrhea was relatively benign in years gone by, going by the name the clap and was easily treated with penicillin.
Now its a monster. A super-resistant form is cutting a swath through straight and gay communities.
When it emerged in Leeds last year, the new superbug prompted a national alert when one of the main treatments became useless against it.
The Neisseria gonorrhoeae infection is spread through unprotected vaginal, oral and anal sex.
Left untreated, gonorrhoea can lead to pelvic inflammatory disease. Inflammation of the fallopian tubes can cause a blockage which can result in infertility. Gonorrhoea can also be passed on to an unborn baby during pregnancy.
Doctors are afraid the STI could soon become untreatable. While the outbreak started in straight couples, it soon moved on to gay men.
"The problem is [they] tend to spread infections a lot faster simply because this group changes partners more quickly."
As the gonorrhoea bacterium can resist our most powerful antibiotics when used alone, two drugs, azithromycin and ceftriaxone, are used in combination.
However, resistance to azithromycin has developed and is spreading, and experts fear its only a matter of time before ceftriaxone fails too.
Dr Gwenda Hughes, the head of the sexually transmitted infections unit at Public Health England, said: We cannot afford to be complacent. If strains emerge resistant to both azithromycin and ceftriaxone, treatment options would be limited as there is currently no new antibiotic available to treat the infection.
Theres also a concerted campaign to find the sexual partners of people who have the superbug.
Public Health England warn the emergence of a dangerous superbug is creating a perfect storm scenario.

Hosea 9:11-14
Now their glory flies away
no birth, no pregnancy, no conception.
Even though they bring up their children,
I will make them childless, until no one is left.
... But now Ephraim will bring out
his children to the slaughterer!
Give them, Lord!
give them what?
Give them a miscarrying womb,
and dry breasts!
Gee, that’s too bad.
Sums up Obama’s America.......Drip, Drip, Drip
Wow.
But maybe it’s also God’s way of stemming the Muslim tide, too.
Maybe they need more Muslims from Third World hellholes in the Middle East??
"...We asked for sterile sex: yeah, we're going to get it, good and hard..."
EW.
It is more likely the Muslims are Gods army of punishment for his wayward children.
Are you saying that as we sow, so shall we reap?
Is this the same untreatable Philippine clap that showed up in Salt Lake City about thirty five years ago?
“While the outbreak started in straight couples, it soon moved on to gay men.
“The problem is [they] tend to spread infections a lot faster simply because this group changes partners more quickly.””
I’ll say. Quicker than a square dance at speed 78.
“The problem is [they] tend to spread infections a lot faster simply because this group changes partners more quickly.”
This sums it up and is what I have expected.
Yep. Nothing new under the sun.
“Free sex” isn’t too free. Actions have consequences.
Sorry Mirror. “The Clap” was Chlamydia.
And there is a way to prevent it. STOP BANGING STRANGE!!!
BUT, those enlightened progressives say just keep hooking up. No worries. And the scoff at those who say abstinence ‘prevents’ unwanted pregnancy and diseases.
It emerged in Leeds.
England. That figures.
er.. stoppable.
We who have abandoned our true Lord, who have no faith, no hope, no love.
