    What idiot would have unprotected sex in southeast Asia? It's about as stupid as having unprotected sex with a porn star? I hope they quarantine this man too and keep him in England too?!!

    There are 7 Types of Antibiotics

    Although there are well over 100 antibiotics, the majority come from only a few types of drugs. These are the main classes of antibiotics.

    1. Penicillins such as penicillin and amoxicillin
    2. Cephalosporins such as cephalexin (Keflex)
    3. Macrolides such as erythromycin (E-Mycin), clarithromycin (Biaxin), and azithromycin(Zithromax)
    4. Fluoroquinolones such as ciprofolxacin (Cipro), levofloxacin (Levaquin), and ofloxacin(Floxin)
    5. Sulfonamides such as co-trimoxazole (Bactrim) and trimethoprim (Proloprim)
    6. Tetracyclines such as tetracycline (Sumycin, Panmycin) and doxycycline (Vibramycin)
    7. Aminoglycosides such as gentamicin (Garamycin) and tobramycin (Tobrex)
    I guess over prescribing of antibiotics over the years, has made some STDs antibiotic resistant?
