Theres also a concerted campaign to find the sexual partners of people who have the superbug.
Good luck with that!....LOL!
Maybe putting up a Wanted poster in all the restrooms of the bars where the homosexuals hang out might help. But I doubt it...........

No. Thirty five years ago, there were still lots of new antibiotics "in the pipeline," at various stages of being developed, being tested, being FDA-approved for use. And we came up with new meds like azithromycin and ceftriaxone to stop gonorrhea -- for the time being.
Now these antibiotics --- even cephalosporin ---are not stopping the new gonorrhea strains, and there's really nothing in the pipeline.
As ye sow, so shall ye reap.

Sorry Mirror. The Clap was Chlamydia.
Sorry OP but in my army days gonorrhea was also referred to as the "Clap"........

Best to follow God’s law. Keep laughing. . .

Right you are--- but " Stop having casual sex" is a little too vague.
Don't have sex with anybody until you marry. Marry a virgin (or at least someone who's tested clean.) Then have sex only with your spouse, period.
That's the only was to be double-dog sure you won't be culled out of the human race by one of these loathsome diseases.
And it provides yet another incentive, if you need one, to cultivate true and lasting love, and not just be "a sot and thrall of lust"--- as the poet says.

Well not all of us. MrR and I were laughed at and mocked because we waited until we were married and have only been married to each other.
We did struggle with infertility but laughed when they tested us for all the STDs because of our history which made several people angry about ‘how can you joke about that?” well we can joke about it because we have only been with each other.
Practice safe sex - get married and stay faithful.

Maybe things have changed, but when I was a kid (back in the Jurassic) "The Clap" was gonorrhea.
Of course, back then, there were basically just to SDI's out there - - syphilis and gonorrhea. Now there are dozens.
And even then the Old Wise Ones told us:
"Promiscuity is as 'pro-sex' as the Clap."

So glad to be monogamous. this is what happens when sex runs rampant. Want to bet this will curb a lot of sex activity for those smart enough to see the dire consequences of changing partners like most change their underwear.

Another round of AIDS if this in untreatable?

Doctors are afraid the STI could soon become untreatable. While the outbreak started in straight couples, it soon moved on to gay men. Nothing in the story to back up the assertion it started with heterosexuals. Yet they can't help themselves dragging down the traditional norm.

Sooner or later God’ll cut you down
Sooner or later God’ll cut you down
Go tell that long tongue liar
Go and tell that midnight rider
Tell the rambler, the gambler, the back biter
Tell ‘em that God’s gonna cut ‘em down
Tell ‘em that God’s gonna cut ‘em down”

My OBGYN suggested STD testing. I said why, I’m faithfully married? The answer: you can’t expect him to be.
I said if I found out he was cheating that way, the problem wouldn’t be STD treatment but murder charges, but he knows that, which is why I don’t have to worry about an STD.

From the article, the authority for the assertion that the super-gonorrhea started with heteros seems to be Peter Greenhouse, "a Bristol-based consultant in sexual health."
It's quite plausible. There are far more heterosexuals than homosexuals, and even if the rates are higher with gays, the sheer numbers are likely to be higher with heterosexuals.
The relevant difference is not "straight" or "gay. The relevant difference is "chaste/monogamous" or "promiscuous".
Promiscuous heterosuxuals have no reason to think themselves exempt from moral censure or public health hazard. Promiscuous heterosexuals are not "the traditional norm."

There is a way to stop it. But for most of today’s society it’s unthinkable.

We're told the government has the right to force us to wear seatbelts because the injuries sustained without them have a public health impact. We're told that tobacco can be banned and alcohol taxed because they have public health impacts. We're told that guns should be controlled because their misuse has a public health impact.
Yet acts that clearly have a public health impact -- promiscuous sex, homosexuality, even polygamy -- are not only not permitted to be regulated, they are encouraged in every forum from our pop culture to the public schools.
