"   Question What is &amp;#039;the clap&amp;#039; and if I have it, will having unprotected sex with my wife damage our unborn baby (three weeks gone). Is it possible to get some kind of urethritis by having sex with an infected person?   Answer The &amp;#039;clap&amp;#039; is a word which is traditionally used for &amp;#039;gonorrhoea&amp;#039;, but some people use it to mean any kind of sexually transmitted disease.  If untreated it can harm you, anyone you have unprotected sex with and if the mother is untreated then also a new baby.  Identification of the particular bug and the appropriate treatment is very important.  Make sure you go to a sexually transmitted disease clinic, get the proper treatment and take their advice.  Urethritis is not always sexually transmitted \u2013 it can be caused by bugs that exist on your own skin.
