The mission of every Infectious Awareables tie is to generate interest, discussion, even excitement about serious public health issues such as this silk Gonorrhea tie in red. Believing that humor can be a powerful educational tool, Infectious Awareables neckties take an atypical, slightly irreverent approach to some very serious subjects. Shop and take pride in knowing that a portion of the proceeds will be donated to disease research/education. You'll spark conversation in unlikely places with this handsome necktie. One of the most popular Awareables designs, this tie is especially elegant. Design is based on the Neisseria gonorrhoeae bacteria, one of the oldest and most common of the STDs. Gonorrhea, often referred to as "GC," is characterized by inflammation of the genitourinary tract, and can ultimately cause sterility, as well as serious complications in newborns.
