"STI's have reached outbreak levels in Alberta"

Yesterday the government of Alberta released an announcement stating that cases of gonorrhea are up 80 per cent, and cases of syphilis have doubled.

…….WEAR CONDOMS!!!!!!! 

Dr. Karen Grimsrud, Chief Medical Officer of Health, has this to say about why we’ve seen the large spike:

“New social media tools enable people to communicate quickly to arrange anonymous sexual encounters, resulting in increased difficulty in tracking STIs. When people don’t know their sexual partners’ identities, it makes it difficult to contact partners for follow-up testing and treatment.”

Again…WEAR CONDOMS AND GET TESTED!

Okay, you’re dismissed from health class now.

Be safe! And Happy Wednesday!
