Super gonorrhoea: Why the STI could become untreatable - BBC News

What happens if you can't treat the second-most common STI, gonorrhoea?

This sexually transmitted infection affects millions of people around the world every year.

But those working on the front line are worried they are running out of drugs to treat it.

Newsnight's Kay Devlin explores the challenges involved in stopping the spread of super gonorrhoea and finds out about some of the surprising ways you can get it.

Imagine being the thumbnail for a video titled super gonorrhoea lmao

Lesson from this video: Don't consider sleeping around randomly as achievements or modernity. Getting an STI and not knowing from whom you got it is the worst possible condition one can be in. Do something solid in life instead of being a slave to your hormones.

In a global culture that encourages casual sex, this is hardly surprising.

If you don't know who gave you gonorrhoea you're sleeping around too much.

this is what happens when doctors and citizens think of antibiotics like some kind of "miracle cure-all"

When I was a child the ones you had to fear were HIV, herpes, and hepatitis. Now we have PReP to reduce HIV transmission, but we're losing the fight against gonorrhea.

This is off topic but I think the thumbnail shouldn't be her looking so happy about having gonorrhea.

How backwards have things gotten that they found someone proud to be the poster child for super gonnorhoea

Everyone in the comment section sounds so mature and responsible. If only we were like this in real life. Everyone on the internet claims they are so careful and responsible but we still have a crazy rise in new STI cases...it makes no sense.

Oliver: "If people know their status, and they're safe and they proceed carefully with partners, then there shouldn't be an issue."
Also Oliver: "I've had chlamydia and ah, syphilis once."
Excuse me, what?!

This is scary man ! You can't trust anyone or take someones word without proof, when it comes to sexual health.
