Who's At Risk
Anyone who is sexually active is at risk for gonorrhea as well as other sexually transmitted diseases. Teens and young adults are at the highest risk for contracting gonorrhea; in the US, 75% of cases occur in those under 30 years old. Since there is no immunity developed in infection with gonorrhea, the infection can be acquired again if there is sexual contact with an infected person.
