Disco Three Club

Disco Three Club is the impulsive title for the card you've just scanned.

Gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men (GBMSM) in the UK remain disproportionately affected by certain sexually transmitted infections (STIs), particularly syphilis, gonorrhoea, and chlamydia. Of course there are other serious STIs but these infections pose ongoing public health concerns due to rising rates, potential complications, and links to chems, condomless sex, and multiple partners. Regular screening is vital, as early symptoms can be missed.

There were increases in bacterial STI diagnoses amongst GBMSM between 2022 and 2023: gonorrhoea increased 9.4% (37,095 to 40,586), chlamydia increased by 8.2% (18,223 to 19,716) and infectious syphilis increased 7.3% (6,081 to 6,527)."  Sexually transmitted infections and screening for chlamydia in England: 2023 report | UK HSA | 17 Jul 2024

Syphilis

• Highly infectious bacterial STI, spread through oral, anal, and vaginal sex

• Treatable with antibiotics (usually benzathine penicillin)

Syphilis | MEN R US

Gonorrhoea

• Bacterial STI that infects the urethra, rectum, throat, and eyes
• Rates are particularly high among GBMSM engaging in condomless or group sex
• Often asymptomatic in the throat or rectum, allowing it to spread unknowingly
• Increasing concern over antibiotic-resistant strains (so-called “super gonorrhoea”)
• Treatable, but treatment guidelines are evolving due to resistance

Disco

The Disco Era spans roughly from late 60s to late 70s was was a vibrant, high-energy period in music, dance, fashion, and nightlife. Originating in urban, Black, Latin, and LGBT+ communities, disco grew into a global cultural phenomenon that transformed pop culture and club life.

Typically, dancefloor-focused music with steady 4/4 beats, syncopated bass-lines, lush strings, and electronic rhythms. Lyrics often centred on freedom, love, escapism, and identity. The period was marked by extravagant fashion: glitter, flared pants, platform shoes, and sequins. In terms of artists: Donna Summer – “I Feel Love,” “Hot Stuff”; Gloria Gaynor – “I Will Survive”; The Bee Gees – “Stayin’ Alive,” “Night Fever”
Chic – “Le Freak,” “Good Times”; Sylvester, Village People, KC and the Sunshine Band. 

Disco fuelled the rise of DJ culture, remixing, and the 12-inch single, and helped shape the evolution of house music, hip hop, and electronic dance music (EDM). By the early 1980s, disco was considered commercially dead but its spirit lives on in club culture and underground music.
