Sex Superbug Could Be 'Worse Than AIDS'
CNBC ^ | 04/29/13 | Mark Koba

Posted on 04/30/2013 11:36:45 AM PDT by AtlasStalled

An antibiotic-resistant strain of gonorrhea—now considered a superbug—has some analysts saying that the bacteria's effects could match those of AIDS. "This might be a lot worse than AIDS in the short run because the bacteria is more aggressive and will affect more people quickly," said Alan Christianson, a doctor of naturopathic medicine.

Sex Superbug? Sounds like the “B” side of something by Sly and the Family Stone.

“Oh no! What will Sandra Fluke do now?!?”

Demand that the government cure it so that she doesn’t have to change her behavior.

It won’t affect anyone that keeps “it” in their pants, or is in a traditional marriage

I remember being newly wed at around the time of the outbreak of AIDs, when there was no treatment and little understanding of the virus itself. When it was announced that it was spread by sexual contact, my husband said to me; "boy, am I glad I'm married".

The "baby boomers" and their "sexual revolution" have a lot to answer for.

Yeah, probably, but it like aids, etc. probably started with some guy in Africa getting moon-eyed over a particularly fetching monkey somewhere.

CDC Interactive Stats:

Designate 2 US ethnic groups & see the gono differential:

http://www.cdc.gov/std/health-disparities/race.htm

Just click a person figurine of one color on the left, then on the right, and you can spool through each year.

Very good resource.

Urban people recently had 11 times the per capita infection rate of Asian, and 9 times. Not 11%, not 9%.

TIMES.

Sorry! My mistake —11x and 9x were the urban vs asian & urban vs. white CHLAMYDIA rates.

For *GONO* the correct numbers were 27x and 17x, respectively.

17 x 100 = 1,700% HIGHER.

And inside the gay community even faster.

Which means they will die off sooner.

Silver lining is less marxist/democrat voters. Oh well.

“It won’t affect anyone that keeps “it” in their pants, or is in a traditional marriage.”

that’s sounds like an incomplete warning

both men and women can transmit or be a transmitter of gonnoreah and in that, to put it crudely, “any orifice will do”

its not only that someone should “keep ‘it’ in THEIR pants”,they should not “accept ‘it’ “ in any matter from someone who is not their spouse

Homosexuality, the natural disease amplifier in homo sapiens. Almost makes a person really homophoebic.

This, of course, assuming you can find a virginal spouse in this day and age, in America.

It either means you get married in high school, or have a miracle happen to you once you've established a career and find a spouse at that age, who has still not given it away.

You're better off looking for unicorns.

This is what you get when fornication is given a pass and condoned with a wink, even by many here, on FR.
