GONORRHOEA

Why worry?

  • Gonorrhoea is caused by a type of bacteria and it can affect both men and women.

  • It is the second most commonly reported STI in Australia.

  • If left untreated it could lead to pelvic inflammatory disease in women and infertility in both men and women.

  • Spread by vaginal, anal or oral sex without a condom.
