Flesh Eating STD reported in Britain

[Tom Nook 37,820]

“A rare sexually transmitted disease (STD) that can destroy genital tissue has turned up in the United Kingdom, according to news reports.

The disease, called donovanosis, was diagnosed in a woman in Southport, England, within the past year, according to local news outlet Liverpool Echo. The woman, who has not been identified, is between the ages of 15 and 25.

Donovanosis is an STD caused by a bacterium called Klebsiella granulomatis, according to the National Institutes of Health (NIH). The disease is rarely seen in the United States, with only about 100 cases reported per year, mostly among people who have traveled to or are from areas where the disease is common, the NIH says. Donovanosis is also rare in the U.K. But it's common in some tropical areas, including parts of India, Papua New Guinea, the Caribbean, central Australia and southern Africa, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The disease can start out as small, painless sores (ulcers) on the genitals. The sores slowly get larger and form raised, red bumps that bleed easily. As the disease spreads, it can destroy genital tissue and cause the skin around the area to lose color, the NIH says.

The disease is spread through sexual intercourse, but in very rare cases, it may also spread through oral sex, according to the NIH.”

I once had oral sex and I didn't know why there was blood in my mouth. I was so scared. And I got checked. I got STD but thankfully the can be cured ones. I also got HIV test and the result negative. I'm so afraid of having sex even with condom.
