Can MRSA show up in throat cultures?
Most MRSA infections are skin infections. One major problem with MRSA is that occasionally the skin infection can spread to almost any other organ in the body. When this happens, more severe symptoms develop ranging from illness to death. People with pneumonia (lung infection) due to MRSA can transmit MRSA by airborne droplets so obviously MRSA can be present in their throats and would show up in a throat culture. It is not necessarily the case that it would ALWAYS or even USUALLY show up in a throat culture of someone infected with MRSA. The infection would have to either have spread there from somewhere else, or picked up directly in the throat by contact with something contaminated with MRSA - like aerosol droplets from the cough of an infected person or having an infected body part stuck in their mouth or throat.
Is MRSA considered an STD?
MRSA is not considered an STD. Although you might get it from sex, that's not its primary mode of transmission. You can get the common cold or strep throat during sex, also, but we don't consider those STDs.
Why do gay men contract MRSA easily?
A person can be a carrier of MRSA (in the groin and other areas of the body such as the nose and throat) but not be infected. MSM (men who have sex with men), with MRSA in the groin, and anal sex usually causing tears in the anus (vaginal sex usually doesn't cause tears in the vagina), the bacteria transmits through the anal cuts and infects the person.

MRSA is still very rare and will not be in the air. Some studies do talk of the 'MRSA' cloud that can be around an MRSA sufferer, who is ill enough that they do not move very much. An MRSA carrier who may not be ill from the bacteria but has symptoms of respitory infection that lead them to sneeze and cough can project the the MRSA bacteria all around them.
