Gonorrhea Advocacy Sheet

Like many of the Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs),gonorrhea often presents no symptoms, so many infected with it do not know, especially women. According to the Planned Parenthood website, roughly 600,000 women and men are infected with gonorrhea in the United States every year. Also similar to other STDs, having gonorrhea puts you at a higher risk for being able to contract other STDs, likeChlamydia and HIV.
