It may be possible to pass gonorrhea through French kissing, study says

Neisseria gonorrhoeae bacteria. By Lindsey Bever Lindsey Bever General assignment reporter covering national and breaking news Email Bio Follow May 9 at 6:30 PM It may be possible to pass gonorrhea through kissing, challenging the widely accepted notion that the sexually transmitted disease is spread almost exclusively through sexual contact, a new study says.

“It’s a worthwhile topic to continue investigating, for sure,” so medical practitioners can better screen and treat patients for the disease, he said.Gonorrhea is a sexually transmitted infection caused by the bacterium Neisseria gonorrhoeae. It can be transmitted among people who have vaginal, anal or oral sex with someone who has it, and it can infect the genitals, rectum and throat, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The men noted that they had had an average of four kissing-only partners, five kissing-with-sex partners and one sex-only partner over the past three months. The researchers found that those with a higher number of kissing-only and kissing-with-sex partners were at a greater risk of testing positive for oral gonorrhea, the study said.

Some strains of gonorrhea have become resistant to most of the antibiotics that have been prescribed for them, according to the CDC.
