This article in the The U.S. News & World Report, discusses how gonorrhea has gone from a disease that used to be handled with a simple dose of penicillin to one the verge of being incurable. This bacteria is being called a superbug with an amazing ability to grow resistant to medications & maintain a resistance memory to those it was exposed to in the past.
Gonorrhea would join herpes & HIV as the incurable STD's. Gonorrhea is often thought of as a minor STD, something easily handled without many complications. That's only true if the bacteria is treated early & is curable. If not this ailment can cause a host of issues throughout the body.
This drives home the need to use protection when engaging in sex. Concurrent infection is a possibility as well. A person engaging risky behaviors could wind up with HEPC, TB & a host of incurable STD's. Be nice to yourself, play safe.
Cya...
