Warning of sexual diseases

The good control of the HIV epidemic inadvertently causes many people to be less afraid of sexual diseases, thereby neglecting the issue of sexual safety and causing some old diseases to reappear.

American experts have issued a warning about syphilis - the once-obsessive sexual disease, then well controlled - now comes back. In addition, gonorrhea and chlamydia also show signs of increasing again, in the framework of California state meetings to discuss how to deal with the rapidly increasing syphilis in the United States.

Less afraid of HIV, many people neglect sexual safety and so many old diseases get worse again - (artwork from the internet).

Dr. Cameron Kaiser, from the Riverside County Department of Health (California), identified this phenomenon as likely due to the fact that HIV disease was effectively prevented and treated in the past, not to mention countless vaccines and drugs. More advanced treatment is being studied and the first step is to succeed in trials. Less than fear of the century disease, many people also neglect sexual safety.

The situation of syphilis infection in the US has become alarming in the past few years. In the state of California, there are areas where syphilis infection rates increase to 300% within a decade. In San Joaquin, even the number of cases increased by 44% within a year.

According to Dr. Kaiser, this trend is not only happening in California but also in the United States and possibly many other countries, because medical advances today, including advances in HIV control, prevention contraception . easily spread around the world. And no matter where it is, people can be affected by the tendency to feel that sex becomes safer and there is no more fear and prevention of sexually transmitted diseases.

Research in the United States shows that the group with the highest prevalence of syphilis and other sexually transmitted diseases is gay men.

Experts warn that although syphilis does not seem dangerous and it is not too difficult to treat today, it can be severe and very dangerous if not treated early and appropriate. More frighteningly, the disease is easy to cross the placenta if a pregnant woman is infected, causing irreversible damage to the child: stillbirth or life but with birth defects.

In addition, the risk of an old disease becoming more dangerous when "re-exporting" is real. Some "gonorrhea" cases are almost resistant to all kinds of antibiotics discovered in the UK since the end of April, causing confusion among domestic health experts and the World Health Organization (WHO). The doctors eventually found a cure after trying all kinds of antibiotics but undeniably the patient suffered countless heavy effects from illness and prolonged treatment.
