Rates of gonorrhea, a sexually transmitted disease, are rising sharply in California, especially among gay and bisexual men, according to new state health data.
The gonorrhea rate among California men aged 15 to 44 shot up 54 percent between 2011 and 2014, according to recently released data from the California Department of Public Health. Among women in the same age group, it rose 35 percent.
An average of 34,000 gonorrhea cases among 15-to-44 year-olds was reported in California each year between 2012 and 2014, most of them among men.
By contrast, the national gonorrhea rate, calculated slightly differently than California’s, rose about 15 percent among men aged 15-44 between 2010 and 2013, the latest available data for that group.
Public health experts say the reasons for gonorrhea’s resurgence in California are complex. It may reflect better screening, which detects cases that would not have been found previously.
Other possible explanations include lower condom use among young people and the rise of Tinder and other “hookup” apps that promote multiple sex partners. But experts say there’s not enough data to pin the rising gonorrhea rates on any one cause.
Clinicians say they are frustrated they haven’t made more headway in controlling the disease.
“We have great testing, [and the] medications are highly effective,” said Dr. Heidi Bauer, chief of the Sexually Transmitted Disease Control Branch of the California Department of Public Health. “This should not be an ongoing health problem. We should be able to do a much better job.”
The disease is continuing to spread in part because some people do not notify their partners so they can be treated, and local public health workers don’t always have the resources to track down and inform them, Bauer said.

I don’t trust anything “government” says.
I’d wager it’s up because of the behavior of illegals.
Aboriginal people of Latin America have the mindset of stone-age people.
In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion.
No, actually they aren't, at all.
Bingo. HIV/AIDS and all those STDs are God’s earthly punishment against promiscuity in all its forms. Same with the link between abortion and breast cancer. That’s God’s earthly punishment against promiscuity and murder. Their punishment will literally be infinitely worse in the hereafter, of course.

Locally STD’s are way up amongst all groups. Our county health department is blaming Tinder and other smartphone hook-up apps.
That’s your tractor story?

“Gonorrhea! The jackpot!”
Just wondering. Can someone get the clap in his mouth? Remember, just wondering.
“....especially among gay and bisexual men....”
Shhh - you’re not allowed to say anything detrimental about homosexuals.
Fortunately The Lord doesn't need a sensible nation for the truth to be the truth.
Is this why the pervs are “celebrating” sexual disease?
What about women who developed breast cancer but who never had an abortion and never took birth control pills like my SIL? What was she being punished for?
>>HIV, AIDs. sTDs are all punishments from God for
>>sexually deviant behavior but the athesit
>>LGBT whoremongers will never acknowledge it.
But per Romans chapter 1, all of the above are a punitive response rendered by God in response to something else.
In response to what?
Wasn’t so-called “gay marriage” supposed to stem the behavior that lead to this societal scourge?
Hard to believe.
