Infections from these three sexually spread diseases have hit another record high in the U.S.
Chlamydia was the most common. More than 1.5 million cases were reported in the U.S. last year, up 6 per cent from the year before.
Nearly 400,000 gonorrhea cases were reported, up 13 per cent.
And there were about 24,000 cases of the most contagious forms of syphilis, up 19 per cent.

An estimated 20 million cases of sexually transmitted infections occur each year in the U.S.
The worrying new figures come amid fears sexually-transmitted diseases could soon become untreatable as infections build a resistance to antibiotics.
Last month, the WHO updated its guidelines on how to treat chlamydia, gonorrhea and syphilis for the first time since 2003.
Together, the diseases infect 200 million people every year.
They are normally treated with a short and simple dose of antibiotics. But at the rate the diseases are developing, it is just a matter of years before this method becomes ineffective.
Crucially, doctors must stop over-prescribing antibiotics, and patients must be vigilant about taking the correct doses.
'Resistance of these STIs to the effect of antibiotics has increased rapidly in recent years and has reduced treatment options,' the UN agency said.
Antibiotic resistance also exists in chlamydia and syphilis, though it is less common.
The CDC recommends treating the infection with a combination of two antibiotics: azithromycin and ceftriaxone.
The infection has already become immune to penicillin, tetracycline and fluoroquinolones.
Increasingly, gonorrhea is building up a resistance to the individual drugs.
When left undiagnosed and untreated, the three diseases can have serious consequences, causing pelvic infamatory disease and ectopic pregnancy in women, and increasing the chances of miscarriage, stillbirth and newborn death.
It can infect the genitals, rectum, and throat.

As long as they aren’t punished with a baby it’s okay.

People today think that if a person LOOKS OK; they’re OK
but looks can be deceiving, I once knew a man who was so
gullible he *thought his girlfriend was faithful, but she
had another “boyfriend” over to her place within 2 days of
his wife catching him redhanded over at “nasty girl’s”
apartment. - He & wife had an 8 yr. old child, so the wife
decided to keep the child’s dad around to raise him. I’m
not so sure she did the right thing. Her husband has been
a real spoiled trial and not quite the “lady’s man” he
thought he was.
A disproportionately large share, for male homosexuals.
A somewhat disproportionately smaller share, for female homosexuals.
And of course, promiscuous heterosexuals are at high risk as well.
The wages of sin is death, but in the mid term, it’s being sick as a dog.
There’s too much “hookin’ up” goin’ on out dare.
You can get gonorrhea from riding a tractor in your bathing suit.
well, the short answer is they don't really know what good sex is...they have no idea...
I'm serious about this...the younger generations may not know true love or passion either...
Grim LOL.
“I’ve never had it and I hope that I never get again!”
Keep to yourself and your only true love and there will never be a worry!
Mickey Mantle bragged that he “had led the American League in CLAP for six years!” He was an alcoholic sex fiend.
and ironically they are blaming decreased funding for STD clinics. Silly me....I was under the impression we had a Democtatic administration. Imagine the shouts in the MSM if we did not...
For some that’s the selfsame person...
Antibiotics are becoming less and less effective in battling these conditions; however, Americans, by and large, seem not to want to face up to the fact that the only way to stay STD-free is to abstain from relations out of marriage, and insist that the partner does, too.
Yeah, from Madonna’s latest “Get Out The Vote” campaign...
Maury should do the first half of his show on who’s your daddy and the second half “yes, Deshauna, you do have a STD.”
Nor they taking a night off from porn to bother to have sex with those ladies
Or should I just make an educated guess that it is the usual suspects?
okay, so none of us is perfect, and we all sin, but if more people would just follow the 10 commandments and live moral lives, we’d be so much better off....
According to the graph, there are about 6 times more cases amongst MSM than amongst MSW. However, MSW outnumber MSM by a factor of 10 to 30 (depending on whose figures you use). Putting it all together shows that MSM are from 60 to 180 times more likely to become infected, than MSW!
