Nonini in one of his songs once rapped "usitake jua venye maboy walikuwa wanararuana enzi mdudu haikuwa" simple translation that in the past years when AIDS was not widespread,people used to aimlessly have unprotected s3x. AIDS is a killer disease that rob many lives yearly not only in Kenya but worldwide.
When you thought things were worse,the worst might have just happened.
There is a new sexually transmitted superbug that experts say may be more deadly that AIDS.
According to a CNBC report,
an antibiotic-resistant strain of gonorrhea is more aggressive than the HIV virus, which means the potential to infect the public will be greater.
Like most STDs, gonorrhea is usually transmitted through unprotected sexual contact and if left untreated, can cause severe medical complications, such as infertility in women, debilitating pain, sterility in men and life threatening heart infections.
A doctor of naturopathic medicine, thinks this new strain has the power to rack up more fatalities than AIDS. To date, more than the 30 million people have already died worldwide from AIDS-related complications.
"Getting gonorrhea from this strain might put someone into septic shock and death in a matter of days," said the doc. "This is very dangerous"
Gonorrhea can go undetected in some affected by the disease, showing no outward symptoms in about half of women and in 5 percent of men, which adds another level of difficulty in getting ahead of it.
This strain of STD which is resistant to antibiotic, reportedly kills half of those exposed and infects one in 20 hospital patients—which raises the threat of an outbreak to emergency levels.
So far in Kenya no case has been reported so far,but the government is not taking any chance and conducting national research.
