Gonorrhea, the new “superbug”

Picture of condoms

Gonorrhea has been on the rise in Canada. It is now being called a “superbug” because some cases are not responding to treatment. Gonorrhea is a sexually transmitted infection (STI) that spreads through unprotected oral, genital, and anal sex. It spreads so easily because there are often no symptoms. If left untreated, gonorrhea can lead to serious complications, like Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID), infertility, and infection in the bloodstream. The ONLY way to prevent gonorrhea is by using condoms. Contact the Sexual Health Clinic (519.355.1071 ext. 5901) to get free condoms, testing, and treatment. Be sure to use a condom properly every time, for the entire time to prevent STIs! http://ht.ly/1Dvi30dv9ok
