Throats can serve as reservoirs for gonorrhoea

Drug-resistant gonorrhoea can spread from an infected person's throat during oral sex. Oral gonorrhoea has increased due to oral sex and irregular use of condom.

Gonorrhoea is a sexually transmitted infection STI that can infect the genitals, throat, eyes and rectum. It spreads through unprotected sex.

The infection can also pass from an infected mother to a child during child birth. But it cannot be spread by kissing an infected person.

Common symptoms of gonorrhoea are: greenish yellowish discharge from penis or vaginal, a burning sensation when urinating, a rash on the penis and increased discharge from vaginal.

Untreated oral gonorrhoea can spread to the genitals, causing pelvic inflammatory disease, testicular pain, ectopic pregnancies and infertility.

Oral gonorrhoea is responsible for STI's antibiotic resistance, the bacteria in the throat are exposed to antibiotics when using the drugs for treating the infection. These throat bacteria reduce the effectiveness of the drug.

Bacteria under the foreskin increases the risk of HIV in men

Some bacteria underneath the foreskin increases the risk of contracting HIV.
These bacteria cause specific immune cells to accumulate at the penis give HIV easy access  to enter the body.

An imbalance in genital bacteria can increase HIV risk. Circumcision reduces the risk of bacteria, since these anaerobic bacteria can not flourish outside of the moist oxygen-starved foreskin.

Researchers analyzed penile swabs from different uncircumcised men, and
examined the 10 bacteria species that are most commonly reduced after male circumcision.

The men who contracted HIV had higher amounts of certain bacterial strains under their foreskin. A 10-fold increase in the species Prevotella, Dialister, Mobiluncus and Murdochiella roughly equated to a 10 percent increase in the risk of contracting HIV.

The researchers discovered that some species of bacteria increase a man's HIV susceptibility by causing specific immune cells to accumulate under the foreskin and act as a direct entry into the body.
