If they would not advertise the medication to medical professionals as something that they could

The most common form of transmission is during oral, anal, or vaginal sex in which the bacteria comes in contact with a cut or mucous membrane within the vaginal walls. It is otherwise known as the “great imitator” because of its ability to mimic so many other symptoms.
