Gonorrhea does not become AIDS. Gonorrhea is a purulent inflammatory disease of the genitourinary system caused by infection with Neisseria gonorrhoeae. Neisseria gonorrhoeae, also known as gonococcus and diplococcus gonorrhoeae, is Gram-stain negative and is transmitted mainly through sexual contact. AIDS is acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, an infectious disease caused by infection with the human immunodeficiency virus. Human immunodeficiency virus, also known as HIV, destroys helper T cells in the body’s immune system, thereby destroying a person’s immunity. Transmission occurs through sexual contact, blood, and mother-to-child. Although STDs do not turn into AIDS, unsafe sexual practices increase the incidence of both.
