There are reports that a new 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.
Like most STDs, gonorrhea is transmitted through unprotected sexual contact and if left untreated, can cause a myriad of medical complications, such as infertility in women, debilitating pain and sterility in men and life threatening heart infections.
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.
This strain of STD which is resistant to antibiotic, reportedly kills half of those exposed and infects one in 20 hospital patients thereby raising the threat of an outbreak to emergency levels.
Alan Christianson, a doctor of naturopathic medicine, thinks this new strain has the power to rack up more fatalities than AIDS.
He said, "Getting gonorrhea from this strain might put someone into septic shock and death in a matter of days," adding that it is very dangerous.
Also speaking, executive director of the National Coalition of STD Directors, William Smith said, "It’s an emergency situation. As time moves on, it’s getting more hazardous."
