Description: This indicator provides information about the gonorrhea infection rate (diagnosed infections per 100,000 population).
In recent years, Los Angeles County has experienced a steady increase in the rates of sexually transmitted infections (STIs), including gonorrhea, a trend that has also been seen nationally. A common STI, gonorrhea can cause permanent damage to the reproductive system of childbearing people and can even cause potentially fatal ectopic pregnancy. Untreated gonorrhea infection can also increase the risk of acquiring or transmitting HIV. As with other STIs, gonorrhea rates are much higher in some communities than in others, with low-income communities, communities of color, and gay, bisexual, and transgender communities most severely impacted. Cities, community organizations, faith-based institutions, and businesses can play an important role in supporting efforts to prevent these infections. For example, they can help promote sexual health education campaigns, support condom distribution programs, and foster efforts to reduce stigmatization of and discrimination against groups most at risk of these infections. In addition, community providers can help by assisting at-risk groups in accessing prevention programs, testing, and treatment services, including partner notification and treatment.
