Can Gonorrhea Be Asymptomatic While On Septra/Bactrim?

default
Posted on Mon, 14 Sep 2015
Question: I am currently prescribed Septra/Bactrim, 10 day course, for an infection where I had multiple abbesses. My recently new partner has been diagnosed with gonorrhea and is currently being treated. Is it possible that the reason I have shown no symptoms in the past 30 days is because of my current use of Septra/Bactrim?
