Conservative Culture

Free love, free of responsibilities and under the myth of “safe” sex outside of marriage the United States has achieved a new record. While proponents see to enjoy same sex partnerships in multiplicity they cry fight AIDs… but not a change in moral behavior. Now there are more than 1 million cases of chlamydia. Gonorrhea has seen a new “super bug” caused by “super sex” and the toll will continue to climb unless America changes it’s mindset about what safe sex really is. The faithful marriage between a man and woman who have kept themselves from immorality. The same thing movies and culture ridicule. In the meantime if you are on the dating scene, good luck!

[Breitbart.com] ATLANTA (AP) - More than 1 million cases of chlamydia were reported in the United States last year—the most ever reported for a sexually transmitted disease, federal health officials said Tuesday. Officials at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said they think better and more intensive screening accounts for much of the increase, but added that chlamydia was not the only sexually transmitted disease on the rise.

Gonorrhea rates are jumping again after hitting a record low, and an increasing number of cases are caused by a “superbug” version resistant to common antibiotics.

Syphilis is rising, too. The rate of congenital syphilis—which can deform or kill babies—rose for the first time in 15 years.

“Hopefully we will not see this turn into a trend,” said Dr. Khalil Ghanem, an infectious diseases specialist at Johns Hopkins University’s School of medicine.

The CDC releases a report each year on chlamydia, gonorrhea and syphilis, three diseases caused by sexually transmitted bacteria.

Chlamydia is the most common. Nearly 1,031,000 cases were reported last year, up from 976,000 the year before.

The count broke the single-year record for reported cases of a sexually transmitted disease, which was 1,013,436 cases of gonorrhea, set in 1978.

Putting those numbers into rates, there were about 348 cases of chlamydia per 100,000 people in 2006, up 5.6 percent from the 329 per 100,000 rate in 2005.

Since 1993, the CDC has recommended annual screening in sexually active women ages 15 to 25. Meanwhile, urine and swab tests for the bacteria are getting better and are used more often, for men as well as women, said Dr. John M. Douglas Jr., director of the CDC’s Division of Sexually Transmitted Disease Prevention.
