Is Penicillin Effective In Curing Gonorrhea?

When I was in the Army they diagnosed me as having gonorrhea. Problem was I had not had any sexual relations for 7 years before the diagnosis. Could it be from some sexual relations from before that was never diagnosed? I was treat by the Army with a large dose of penicillin. Would that completely cure it or will there still be side effects years later?
