Gonorrhoea Prevention Singapore | HIV PEP
Gonorrhoea Prevention in Singapore: Gonorrhea, also called “the drip” or “the clap,” is a sexually transmitted disease caused by bacterial infection. Gonorrhea can be easily treated.
How can I prevent gonorrhea?
As gonorrhea is a sexually-transmitted disease, prevention is much easier than treatment. You should approach sexual relationship responsibly by:
- Having a mutually monogamous relationship or limiting your number of sex partners
- If you suspect or you are exposed to an infection, avoid sexual contact and notify your partner(s)
- Always use a condom throughout sexual contact
- If you are at risk of gonorrhea, consider regular gonorrhea screening. If you have a new sex partner, if you have multiple sex partners, or if you have a medical history of gonorrhea or any other sexually transmitted disease, if you are a sex worker, or if you are living in a community with a higher prevalence rate of gonorrhea, consider regular gonorrhea screening to prevent gonorrhea infection. Your doctor can help you decide if screening is right for you.
