Common Questions About Gonorrhea
How is gonorrhea transmitted?
Through vaginal, anal, or oral sex with someone who has the infection. It can also be passed from mother to baby during childbirth.
Can gonorrhea be cured?
Yes, gonorrhea is completely curable with appropriate antibiotic treatment. However, drug-resistant strains are becoming more common.
How soon after exposure should I test?
Testing is recommended 5-7 days after exposure. If you have symptoms, test immediately.
Can I get gonorrhea again after treatment?
Yes, having gonorrhea once does not protect you from getting it again. You can be reinfected if exposed in the future.
Does gonorrhea go away on its own?
No. The infection will not clear without treatment and can lead to serious health complications.
Is gonorrhea testing painful?
No, it's a simple urine test or quick swab. The process takes just a few minutes with minimal discomfort.
