Is Gonorrhea Spread Through Unprotected Intercourse?

I have been treated for gonorrhea. 4 days before I went in for the yearly PAP , I had unprotected sex with my partner. Could it have been him that gave it to me or or would that be to soon to show on culture? He doesn t have any symptoms or discharge.

Hello ma'am and welcome.

Even if you think it may not have been him, does that mean you had sexual contact with another individual as well? If so, then this raises cause for concern.

If your partner has been with you for a long time now and you never tested positive for any infection, let alone gonorrhea then the question of fidelity arises on both sides.

Hope this helps.

Best wishes.
