GPs urged not to test gay men for STI super bug over fears it will become more antibiotic resistant

GPs urged not to test gay men for STI super bug over fears it will become more antibiotic resistant Josh Taylor © Provided by The Guardian Photograph: Brian Jackson/Alamy GPs have been urged not to test gay men for one of the most prevalent sexually transmitted infections unless they have symptoms, with new research from the Melbourne Sexual Health Centre warning that treating asymptomatic men is accelerating its resistance to antibiotics. Mycoplasma genitalium, otherwise known as MG, is the second most common bacterial sexually transmitted infection (STI) in many countries after chlamydia. When symptomatic, it presents burning or stinging when urinating for men, while pain during sex and bleeding afterwards are symptoms for women, which can lead to an infection of the reproductive organs and make it harder for women to get pregnant.
