This is old news. It has been posted on the TER boards over 2 months ago.

I'm sure you're well informed as you troll all the boards. For the rest of us, this was useful information and thanks to perfessor for posting it.

The number of antibitoic-resistant bacteria just keeps growing every year. The worst infections arise most often in hospitals, of course, but this is a crisis that goes way beyond STDs.

Use protection, stay out of hospitals, wash your vegetables carefully, do not allow raw meat to cross-contaminate other food, choose hospitals with low infection rates... Lots more to do and worry about if you want to stay safe.

The point is that in this one case, hobbying does not singificantly raise your risk of catching a resistant bug if you use protection, and check your provider/client a little before plunging in. Hospitals and contaminated food are the most likely ways to catch these things. And for now, the odds are some antibiotic will work.

hermetically sealed for my protection.

It always surprised the gals when I show up at the session with my "protection" in place :)

The point is not that this antibiotic-resistant STD strain increases your risk of catching an STD (like you said, it doesn't).

The point is that this antibiotic-resistant STD strain significantly decreases your chance of getting cured should you contract it.

Or to put it technically, the frequency of the event is unaffected, whereas its severity has increased dramatically, which in turn leads to a higher expected loss event.
