Gonorrhoea can infect the genitals, rectum and throat. There is a global rise in gonorrhoea rates and, until now, no one has understood why. The conventional wisdom has been that the disease spreads among people who have oral, anal or vaginal sex with someone with the disease.

The new research, published in The Lancet Infectious Diseases, indicates that a significant - and previously unrecognised - route of transmission of the bacterial infection is kissing. A study, published earlier this year in the journal Sexually Transmitted Infections, analysed more than 3,600 men who have sex with men over a 12-month period from March 2016.

By mapping those who only kissed partners, compared to having sex with partners, the same Fairley team were able to determine that the transmission of the disease is high in people who kiss only, and was higher in those who have sex with kissing compared to those who have sex without kissing.

According to Dr Rahul Sharma, Consultant, Dermatology at Nayati Medicity, Mathura, kissing can increase the chances of gonorrhoea in those who indulge in oral sex.

"Recently, we have seen cases of pharyngeal gonorrhoea on rise. We suspect oral gonorrhoea when we get history of oral sex and other causes of pharyngitis are ruled out. History and type of sexual exposure is important," said Sharma.
