Health officials have given a fair warning that two separate cases of a "sex superbug," which is a gonorrhea bacteria, have recently been discovered in Hawaii.

According to Hawaii News Now, the 'sex superbug' has been verified in the state of Hawaii.

Congress has been asked by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention for $50 million to locate a new antibiotic to treat the drug-resistant strain of the disease.

The first case in the U.S. was found in a female in Hawaii in May 2011. However, the "sex superbug," also named H041, was first found in Japan earlier in that same year. It has since popped up in both Norway and California.

Although almost 30 million people have passed away in the world from causes related to AIDS, Alex Christianson, a doctor of naturopathic medicine told CNBC that the effects of H041 are more aggressive.

"This might be a lot worse than AIDS in the short run because the bacteria is more aggressive and will affect more people quickly," stated Alan Christianson, a doctor of naturopathic medicine.

"Getting gonorrhea from this strain might put someone into septic shock and death in a matter of days. This is very dangerous," he added.
