There are reports that a new Sexually Transmitted Disease (STD) superbug has emerged and according to experts is more deadly than AIDS and could cause an epidemic.
According to the report, an antibiotic-resistant strain of gonorrhea has surfaced, a strain which is more aggressive than AIDS meaning the potential to infect the public will be exponentially greater.
Alan Christianson, a doctor of naturopathic medicine, thinks this new deadly STD has the power to kill more than the 30 million people who have already died from AIDS-related causes worldwide, which would be catastrophic.
Gonorrhea (colloquially known as the clap) is a common human sexually transmitted infection caused by the bacterium Neisseria gonorrhoeae. The usual symptoms in men are burning with urination and penile discharge. Women, on the other hand, are asymptomatic half the time or have vaginal discharge and pelvic pain. In both men and women, if gonorrhea is left untreated, it may spread locally, causing epididymitis or pelvic inflammatory disease or throughout the body, affecting joints and heart valves.
