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 Californias, 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 gonorrheas 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 theres not enough data to pin the rising gonorrhea rates on any one cause.
Clinicians say they are frustrated they havent 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 dont always have the resources to track down and inform them, Bauer said.

The “US” Congress LOVES contagious, uncurable, diseases
and like the White Mosque, is VERY EAGER to bring more
into the USA with terrorists.
Watch for the “US” Congress to make sure this blood
(and other infected blood) goes directly into the US pool.
Not that there’s anything wrong with that.
It ain’t just Gonorrhea!!!!!!
Thank GOD for a 33 year monogamous marriage. And thank GOD for the wife He gave me.

this is all so gay
HIV, AIDs. sTDs are all punishments from God for sexually deviant behavior but the athesit LGBT whoremongers will never acknowledge it.
Well, now a huge portion of our taxes will go towards finding a cure for these things.
I’m shocked! No, really. I’m shocked there was room to get worse.
Not for much longer:
The promiscuous and unprotected activity that causes the spread of STDs and "unintended" pregnancy is helping Neisseria gonorrhoeae develop antibiotic resistance.
Gonorrhea can cause infertility, and the causative bacteria can evade the immune system for years, making it highly unlikely to overcome an infection without antibiotics.
It probably won't happen for young people to decide en masse to remain celibate until marriage, but we sure can do a better job of discouraging outright promiscuity.
Maybe the sexual deviants should stop sitting on tractor seats.
Who ever would have thought?
“The disease is continuing to spread in part because some people do not notify their partners”
That’s a little harsh. I mean, how do you notify people when you don’t even know their names?
Something Rush said yesterday:
The left can only survive and prosper when they have bullied everybody into tolerating whatever behavior they want to engage in — and good behavior doesn’t require any tolerance. So we’re talking about aberrant behavior to begin with. {Rush Limbaugh}
Just place a sign on the other side of the partition above the Glory Hole:
“Participants Must State Name Before Entering”
Play stupid games,
Win stupid prizes.
Great time to open women’s restrooms to these perverts.
Maybe they can get Christian bakers to bake them cakes with “Congratulations on your new venereal disease” on them.
STD rates are very low for lesbians. God must love lesbian behavior.
