Doctors are warning of a new sexually-transmitted superbug that 
they say could ultimately prove more deadly than AIDS.

The antibiotic-resistant strain of gonorrhea HO41 was reportedly 
discovered in Japan two years ago in a 31-year-old female sex 
worker.

"This might be a lot worse than AIDS in the short run because 
the bacteria is more aggressive and will affect more people 
quickly," Alan Christianson, a doctor of naturopathic medicine, 
recently told CNBC. "Getting gonorrhea from this strain might 
put someone into septic shock and death in a matter of days. 
This is very dangerous."

Reportedly added William Smith, executive director of the 
National Coalition of STD Directors: "It's an emergency 
situation. As time moves on, it's getting more hazardous."

According to CNBC, Smith urged Congressional lawmakers as late 
as last week to allocate additional funding - $54 million - to 
develop an antibiotic capable of fighting HO41, as well as to 
conduct a public awareness campaign.

"I'm hopeful we'll get the additional funds, but I can't say for 
sure," Smith reportedly said. "What I do know is we don't have 
the resources to fight this as it stands now."

"People need to practice safe sex, like always," Christianson 
told CNBC. "Anyone beginning a new relationship should get 
tested along with their partner. The way gonorrhea works, not 
everyone knows they have it. And with this new strain it's even 
more important than ever to find out. "
