Health officials are warning that two cases of a so-called 'sex superbug' have been confirmed in Hawaii.
Hawaii News Now reports that the 'sex superbug' is a resistant strain of gonorrhea.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has asked Congress for $50 million to find a new antibiotic to treat the drug-resistant strain of the disease. The first case in the nation was identified in a young woman in Hawaii in May 2011.
