Do you know that there is no cure for this sexually transmitted disease, Herpes, HIV/AIDS, I learnt alot from www.learnallonhealth.page.tl you need to check it out. STDs in a short term simply means Sexually Transmitted Diseases. One can get infected by having sexual relations with an infected person. Sexually transmitted diseases can be spread through sexual, anal or oral intercourses.especially if you have multiple sexual partners. Sexually transmitted diseases (STD) encompass a large number of infections that can be spread (transmitted) via sexual contact. Sexually transmitted diseases are mostly transmitted through the mucous membranes of the vulva, urinary tract, penis, rectum, and sometimes (rarely) through the eyes, mouth, throat and respiratory tract |

Is Sexually Transmitted Gonorrhea Becoming a 'Superbug?' The sexually transmitted disease gonorrhea is increasingly developing resistance to all of the antibiotics we have to treat it in the United States, researchers warn. In 2009, nearly a quarter of strains tested in a nationwide surveillance project of gonorrhea were resistant to penicillin, tetracycline, fluoroquinolones, or a combination of these antibiotics that are typically used to treat the STD. And early data from 2010 indicate resistance to another type of antibiotic, cephalosporin, is emerging. That's concerning because cephalosporins are the only class of antibiotic left that doctors recommend to treat the disease. "This may be the harbinger of things to come," Dr. Kimberly Workowski, of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Division of STD Prevention, said of the early 2010 data. "The resistance may be getting worse," Workowski told MyHealthNewsDaily. If resistance to cephalosporins develops, gonorrhea could develop into a superbug, and have a catastrophic effect on our ability to control the disease in the country, researchers say. A superbug is a strain of bacteria that has become resistant to antibiotics and is very difficult to kill. Other examples of superbugs include methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA ) and some strains of tuberculosis. Experts are working on strategies to prevent antibiotic resistance, including treating the disease with several antibiotics at once. They also advocate protected sex and STD screening as ways to reduce the acquisition of gonorrhea. Emerging antibiotic resistance Gonorrhea is caused by the bacterium Neisseria gonorrhea and is spread through sexual activity. Individuals with gonorrhea often show no symptoms, but the disease can lead to serious complications, including infertility and chronic pelvic pain in women, and in men epididymitis, a painful condition of the ducts attached to the testicles that may cause infertility if left untreated, according to the CDC. If the bacteria spread to the blood or joints, the condition can be life-threatening, the CDC says. http://news.yahoo.com/s/livescience/20110420/sc_livescience/issexuallytransmittedgonorrheabecomingasuperbug |
