Gonococcemia (Disseminated)

Alternative names:

gonococcal bacteremia

Prevention:

Abstinence is the only sure prevention. Other prevention consists of following safer sexual practices. Monogamous sexual relations with a known disease-free partner is a good means of prevention. Latex condoms help protect against gonorrhea and other sexually transmitted diseases when the status of a partner is unknown or unsafe sexual practices are indulged in.

Treatment of all sexual partners of a known infected person is essential to prevent further spread or reinfection.
