How did I get infected with gonorrhea while using a condom?

I was diagnosed by my doctor with gonorrhea. I had a condom all the time when I had oral and vaginal sex with a csw. My doctor told me that since she put the condom through her mouth some saliva might have dripped thereby the only logical explanation on how i got infected. But I read somewhere here that you can't be infected with gonorrhea through saliva. I begin to worry that there might be a tear in the condom as to the reason why I got infected.

So is the saliva scenario a logical and possible explanation?

this doesn't sound like a std related discharge.

continue to follow up with an urologist regularly.

Should penile discharge be continuous or it can be single droplet?
I just finished another treatment of antibiotic (cipro) after another culture sensitivity test. I finished the treatment two days ago, and the last discharge I had was six days ago. After I peeing I stood up went I outside for a smoke and I felt a slight drop from my urethra. I checked it and there was nothing at tip of the penis (I'm circumcized) but I checked foreskin which somewhat glued to the lower head and so a fluid there, it looked white. I wasn't sure if it was discharge or urine. What could it be?

Vance, what does it mean if there is no wbc found in urine but the discharge from the penis persists. The presence of bacteria and epithelial cells is few.
