i just learned about this disease today in sex ed.

Thanks Dear, I just saw an episode of Degrassi where Emma had gonorrhea of the throat! YUCK

ewwww thanks dear for the info.

hotstuff--i watched that episode too yesterday! haha

Gah I wish I still had that channel... my college doesnt get the N... I'm missing out on so much

4/5 it's been awhile since I was in HS sex ed - but i remember most of this stuff - I forgot Chlamydia was the most contracted STI.

BTW - out of curiosity? When did it become STI? Back in my day it was STD and I remember before that it was VD - I just think its funny that you can tell what generation you belong by how these are labeled

4/5.

bastille_75 - The whole STI is a recent attemppt at being more politically correct and considerate, since it stands for Sexually Transmitted Infection. Professionals thought it sounded a lot nicer than calling it an STD (sexualy transmitted disease).

Thank you Dear!!! I figured it was something like that . . . its so funny how the term is ever evolving, but avoiding them has not changed a whole lot since their inception - No Sex or Safe Sex with regular check-ups!!! Thanks again - I guess I'm totally showing my age

4/5 :]

Thanks for the information on STD/STI, Dear - when I learned English, people were talking of STDs and I was wondering about the difference between the two!

STI?
Thanks for the info.
It was called STD when I was in school.
I'm showing my age too bastille_75!

3/5.... im with you hootie... ut I guess STI makes more sense?!?

5/5 - I know gonorrhea! I hope it doesn't change from STI anytime soon; it's getting hard to keep up.

I'm happy I got 5/5 as my friends always rely on me to know this stuff. XD

OMG i love degrassi!!! i own seasons 1-5 on dvd. haha. also saw the emma one this weekend

4/5, i though it is number one STI in the country. thank god it's curable, not because i have it eww, lol, but because it's so gross!
