Gonorrhea is a sexually transmitted infection (STI) caused by the bacterium Neisseria gonorrhoeae. This bacterium can infect the mucous membranes of the reproductive tract, as well as the mouth, throat, eyes, and rectum. Gonorrhea is one of the most common STIs worldwide and can affect people of all ages

Oral gonorrhea is an STI caused by Neisseria gonorrhoeae that can affect the mouth and throat, often leading to symptoms like sore throat, discharge, and swollen lymph nodes. While the infection can sometimes be asymptomatic, prompt diagnosis and treatment are essential to prevent complications and reduce the risk of transmission. Antibiotic treatment with a single shot Ceftriaxone is effective. Regular STI screenings, especially for those at higher risk, play a vital role in detecting and managing gonorrhea and other STIs.

Syphilis is a highly infectious, yet treatable, sexually transmitted infection that can have serious long-term consequences if left untreated. It progresses through several stages, each with its own set of symptoms, and can remain dormant in the body for years.
