I'm watching TNG s4e26/s5e1 "Redemption". There's a scene where Worf's honor is restored, by grabbing and bloodying Gowron's d'k tahg. This got me thinking, Klingons absolutely adore blood rituals. Presumably, 24th century medicine makes contracting an STD a trivial issue. However, 21st century equivalent medicine would be far more limited.

If we allow Discovery as evidence, Klingon technology has been in steep decline for centuries, only recently falling to as primitive as 24th century Federation technology.

It's possible that Kligons had better medical treatments available in the 21st century than in the 24th.
