Gonorrhoea is the oldest known STD. It’s caused by a bacterium and contracted through sexual contact (vaginal, oral and anal). Slang terms are clap or drip.
It occurs in both guys and girls, but girls often don’t have any symptoms or they are so mild that they do not realize they are infected.
When girls are infected in can spread to the uterus and fallopian tubes, causing PID. With guys the epididymis and prostate may be infected.
From the genitals it can spread to the mouth when you give oral sex.
When you have (anal) intercourse once with someone who has it, there is a 70% chance of getting it.
It’s usually easy to cure with antibiotics. If left untreated it can leave you infertile, cause infections in other parts of your body. Fever, skin rash and joint pain and stiffness are possible results.
