"Clap" is a slang term for Gonorrhea. You can find information on the STD itself and ways to treat it at webmd. Website posted below.

Gonorrhea (pronounced gah-nuh-ree-uh) is a sexually transmitted disease (STD). This means that you get it by having oral, anal, or vaginal sex with someone who has gonorrhea. It’s caused by a type of bacteria that can grow in warm, moist areas of the reproductive tract, like the cervix, uterus, and fallopian tubes in women as well as the urethra in men and women. Gonorrhea can also grow in the mouth, throat, eyes, and anus.

Antibiotics are used to cure gonorrhea. Many people who have gonorrhea also have another STD called chlamydia. Doctors often give a combination of antibiotics to treat both STDs. Finish all the medicine that you are prescribed by your doctor. Even if the symptoms go away, you still need to finish all of the medicine. If symptoms continue after receiving treatment, see your doctor. Although antibiotics can cure the infection, they do not repair any permanent damage done by the disease.

Just a fun fact, Gonnerhea is called the Clap because during the Korean War, soliders would get it from prostitutes...therfore many soliders had it. You knew when one of them would have it because it hurts when you pee. It hurt so bad that they would smack the wall above the urinal and it would make a clapping sound.
