Thanks for contacting HCM.
You are concerned about your boyfriend having had gonorrhea when he was 16 could still give you gonorrhea after all these years. The short answer is not likely. Gonorrhea would have been an active infection for nearly a decade and that is not possible. What is possible even for a young adult prostatitis can occur. I recommend that he complete his antibiotics and follows up with his doctor o be sure it has resolved. There is no chance for you to get the same infection from prostatitis.
