This so-called ‘Super Gonorrhea’ does not respond to the normal first-line treatments, making it particularly dangerous and uncomfortable for those afflicted. One reason the new strain is blowing up is because most people aren’t going to the hospital unless they come down with Covid-19 symptoms. And to make matters worse, ‘super gonorrhea’ is extremely resistant to antibiotics. Azithromycin is a common antibiotic for treating respiratory infections – was used for Covid-19 treatment earlier in the epidemic. This means more STI cases are not diagnosed properly with more people self-medicating as a result,” WHO added.
