Untreatable Gonorrhea

[medallione 100]

I was just wondering and would like to survey this audience on their views on the growing incidence of untreatable gonorrhea...it is kind of scary. Let's face it, this is a very real risk with this hobby even with the best of precaution. As a backdrop on this topic, check out this story (not sure how the stats pan out in Canada):

Comments and insights (both from hobbyists and SPs) are certainly welcome

The link provided, did not work for me-but I still have an opinion!!!!

 

I am a safe service provider, who refuses to take the extra risks for money. ( Because there are already so many other risks, even when playing safe)

 

I am fully aware that this decision has impacted the amount of clients I have...and that is A-OK with me :)

 

Good Health is priceless - IMHO :)

Sounds pretty scary.

It is still classified as treatment-resistant or antibiotic-resistant, not "untreatable" yet.
