Infectious Disease Ping ( U.S. STD rate increasing; gonorrhea medication resistance has quadrupled in 3 years)

"Along with dramatic increases in syphilis cases (up 76 percent from 2013)
and chlamydia cases (a 45 percent increase among girls and women 15 to 24 years old),
CDC officials said they are concerned about a spike in gonorrhea.
The number of cases went up 67 percent overall but nearly doubled in men, from 169,130 cases in 2013 to 322,169 cases in 2017."

"New CDC findings show the share of gonorrhea samples that are resistant to azithromycin
– prescribed for the disease to stave off its resistance to the separate antibiotic ceftriaxone
– has quadrupled, from 1 percent in 2013 to more than 4 percent in 2017."

Liberals and their Marxist, Socialist philosophy along with their imported illegals have caused this epidemic, IMO. STDs aren’t the only diseases these people have foisted upon this country along with the crime.

internet porn causes blindness, not STDs

My mother said it would make me turn to stone. That must be so, because I started getting hard.

Chlamydia is UP % wise among 15 year olds???!! That is heartbreaking. We thought spin the bottle was daring & risqué at that age......

No doubt about it - there is definitely a direct proportion of increased illegal immigration and an increase of communicable diseases.

The illegals do not have vaccinations / immunizations in there life time due to lack of healthcare from their home countries and their on-the-road life styles. (Not necessarily their fault but, nonetheless it is what it is).

I feel sorry for the US children exposed to all these non-documented children AND mad as hell at our stupid liberal fellow citizens that are so blind as to not see the correlation. Maybe once their children become infected they will see the light.

I still remember the butterflies of my First Kiss. School Dance. A boy had a crush on me for-ever and made his move after a slow dance. I was 15. I thought I was going to DIE of happiness! And that’s as FAR as it went!

Life for kids these days is SO complex, heartbreaking and dangerous to their hearts, minds, bodies and souls.

And that’s a d@mn shame. :(

Yes the unity family is so bad and promiscuity before marriage is so good and worthwhile, and then add to that how marriage is being forsaken more for the single life or delayed to a later age, more than before; and you have more single marriage-age folks out there and active in more promiscuos society. And to that some impacts on the whole from legal and illegal immigration as well as the drug culture and you have a a part of the growth in antibiotic resistance as well. It all we likely get worse still before it gets better.

Local DC news just had a story about how Montgomery County high schools, and maybe some middle schools, will now be giving out rubbers, ostensibly because of this very problem.

Hey! Let’s all wait until married to have sex , and then avoid adultery. Divorce only for the most serious of reasons.

It almost as if God has our best interests in Mind.

Easily accessed pornography on the I-net is also a factor, IMO.

I think those are *computer* viruses.

I haven’t seen syphilis since starting in health care in 1980.

In the last week I have diagnosed two cases.
