 Between 2016 and 2017, there was an 11% increase in STIs among young people in Ireland. Gonorrhea specifically increased the most, with a rise of 19%. About two weeks ago, a British man got diagnosed with the drug-resistant form of gonorrhea that he likely picked up in Southeast Asia. We asked Ashlyn Lloyd, consultant at the St. James's Guide Clinic, how likely it is for it to spread to Ireland. I mean, at the moment, thankfully we've had no cases as yet, but because there's more international travel, there's more people coming into Ireland from abroad, and people seem to be having more sexual partners around the world. It is something that we have to always be conscious of, and we have steps in place to try and make that risk quite minimum. We asked Ashlyn what precautions she would recommend people to take to best avoid the so-called super gonorrhea. So obviously, for most people, the main thing is to try and avoid getting it in the first instance. However, it's quite easy to get and it's on the rise in Ireland, Gonorrhea in general. So for most people, what I'd say is obviously practice sex, use condoms every time you have sex, unless you're in an anonymous relationship and you've both been screened. So before throwing away the condoms, you should both get checked for STDs. Elsa Anderling, DCU TV News.
