    By the time you know it is a problem! It is a problem. :)

    http://www.inquisitr.com/248749/gonorrhea-growing-resistant-to-drugs-world-health-organization-warns/
    Manjula Lusti-Narasimhan of the WHO’s department of reproductive health and research spoke about the new threat during a conference in Geneva, explaining that each year 106 million people worldwide contract gonorrhea:
    “Gonorrhoea is becoming a major public health challenge… The organism is what we term a superbug – it has developed resistance to virtually every class of antibiotics that exists. If gonococcal infections become untreatable, the health implications are significant.”

    But it is not ALL bad news, tis a kinder gentler clap for now.
    Francis Ndowa was WHO’s lead specialist for sexually transmitted infections, and he describes an aspect of the gonorrhea mutation that nearly sounds like a horror film. Ndowa explains:
    “They used to say that if you have urethral gonorrhoea you go to the toilet to pass urine, it would be like passing razor blades. It was that painful. Now people with gonorrhoea sometimes…only notice the discharge if they look when they pass urine, it’s not that painful anymore.”
    He continues:
    “So the organism has readjusted itself to provide fewer symptoms so that it can survive longer. It’s an amazing interaction between man and pathogen.”

    Gonorrhea therefore accounts for c.1 in 4 cases of galloping knobrot worldwide ......and growing.

    So, gonorrhea is the clap. I didn't know that. Or is the clap just a generic name for any std?

    I read a book called Hot Zone a few years back, about the Ebola virus and the Marburg virus

    Finally, the author himself goes into Africa to explore Kitum Cave. On the way, he discusses the role of AIDS in the present, as the highway they were on, sometimes called the "AIDS Highway," or the "Kinshasa Highway" was where it first appeared. Equipped with a Hazmat suit, he enters the cave and finds a large number of animals, one of which might be the virus carrier. At the conclusion of the book, he travels to the quarantine facility in Reston. The building there was abandoned and deteriorating. He concludes the book by saying EBOV will be back.
