Alaska fighting uphill battle to reduce gonorrhea rate
SPIKE: State ranks ninth in the nation as STD continues to spread.
An outbreak of gonorrhea across Alaska that began in 2009 is continuing this year, and health officials say they are trying new ways to curb it.
Between 2008 and 2009, the number of gonorrhea cases in Alaska rose an alarming 69 percent, according to a new U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report.
State health officials began calling attention to a spike in gonorrhea cases in Southwest Alaska more than a year ago and highlighted the statewide rise in March.
The new report shows that Alaska ranks ninth in the nation for its rate of gonorrhea, compared with its ranking in recent years in the mid-20s. Alaska also is second in the nation for its high rate of chlamydia, another sexually transmitted disease that often is transmitted along with gonorrhea.
"Hopefully, the high numbers now are more of a success story in that people are coming in and getting tested. Though I am surprised the numbers haven't declined," said Susan Jones, the state's HIV/STD program manager. "It's this continuing rise in numbers that we haven't been able to get under control."
Symptoms can be mild, which may delay people coming in for testing and treatment, allowing them to continue to spread the disease, health officials say.
Back in the 1970s, a man with a gonorrhea infection would have experienced such painful burning and heavy discharge that he would have likely gone to the doctor within a week. Now, with the current, milder strain, he might not seek help for months.
The health consequences for untreated gonorrhea can be severe: People can become infertile, a result more common for women than for men, Jones said.
Health officials will contact sexual partners of infected people and urge them to get tested and treated, without saying how they may have been exposed.
"I like to say, 'Care enough to get your partners identified and treated,'" Jones said.

The disease is being found across the state but is especially prevalent in northern and western Alaska and in Southcentral, Jones said.Alaska Natives have higher rates than other groups, health officials say. For Alaska Native women, the rate was 656 per 100,000

For instance, teens can order free condoms or ask questions about STDs on a website run by the Alaska Native Tribal Health Consortium. The site is www.iknowmine.org, which refers to an individual's knowing his or her STD infection status.Read more: http://www.adn.com/2010/11/25/1573143/alaska-fighting-uphill-battle.html#ixzz16dnfP2oj
Hope the Villages educate their people on how to fight this.

Is it any wonder why you have zero credibility here WS?
The race card?!?!?!?!?!?!?
Blow me.
And the sheep will bleat their submission,
Seeing the others as fools,
Not knowing nor even caring,
They've become no more than tools.

Skivvy has a commie hate on against the entire state of Alaska because he hates two people on this board. Skivvy isn't very bright.
Well, [war's] got to do something for attention, his multiple personalities aren't speaking to him any more, and his imaginary friends keep finding excuses not to come over.

Did Skip, who you called a racist, write it?
You want to attack somebody, attack the author, not the poster.
Your credibility is less than zero.
Blow me a third time. You must be getting full by now.

Head? Head???
She must be right in the head now. She must be full. She left.
Now back to serious mode. Why does WhiteSands blame you for the content of an article someone else wrote?
All you did was post it for discussion, and she starts yelling, "RACIST!!!"
I've no use for race-baiters.

What's the rate for native Idahoans and their descendants?
On January 3, 2011 the GOP assumes responsibility for deficit spending.

Of COURSE he is.
He's a drama-queen, pure and simple. He'll say anything to be noticed. The ultimate curse to him... is to be bozoed.
Getting tired of the bozoed calcon following me around on the 'net, wanting to discuss "tossing salad." Sorry, you sick rump-ranger. NOT interested.
