I Believe I Was Infected With Gonorrhea After Its Treatment I Had Protected Sex With A Woman But She Performed Oral Sex On Me Without A Condom Is It Possible Or Likely That I Infected Her With Gonorrhea?

Posted on Mon, 6 Feb 2023

Question: I believe I was infected with gonorrhea as I displayed symptoms of drip and burning urination. I promptly got treatment of an injection and one day treatment of azrithromycin. 4 days after this treatment I had protected sex with a woman but she performed oral sex on me without a condom. I didn’thave any “drip” anymore ;though, perhaps, some burning urination maybe. Is it possible or likely that I infected her with gonorrhea?

Brief Answer:
There exist the possibility to pass gonorrhea to your partner 4 days after

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

You should know that according the recommandations you must wait at least 7 days after taking the treatment (with single dose of ceftriaxone and azytromicin) to clear definitly the infection, before having any sexual contact.

Based on your data,having unprotected oral sex after 4 days from the treatment, there exist the possibility to spread the gonorrhea infection to your partner even if you do not have symptoms.

Hope I have answered your query.
Feel free to ask me further.
Thanks.
