I agree.  And call and ask if you were tested.  That's an easy call to make, and can put all of this to rest.

If you weren't, then test.

I am really not in any particular place to give info out however it seems to me easy enough to get another test and the treatment is easy and relatively quick why take any chance with your health you can have an anonymous or at least confidential test in almost any city in the US takes five minutes reults in a week treatment instantly witha  shot or a week of antibiotics and you are done........bite the bullet and go get yourself healthy you deserve it.

Weren't your tests and your man's test negative?  Why are you so concerned with gonorrhea if you both tested negative?

You already got answers to long term effects in your other post.

It might cause arthritis, PID and fertility problems.
