Hi! I recently contracted gonorrhea of the throat and I have been having unprotected sex with my boyfriend. He got infected in the throat as well and we both got treated. I took the standard treatment of two antibiotic tablets and one antibiotics injection (cannot remember the exact names but they are something like arythromyzin and Ceftriaxone). We were told not to have any sexual contact for 7 days, but we had sex on day 4, with no oral sex just kissing and protected anal sex and anal finger foreplay. My questions are:
1. How long does it take for the medication to actually kill the bacteria and cure the gonorrhea? Is it before 7 days or on day 7?
2. With no oral sex involved, is there a risk of re infection? Even though we were both extremely careful to wash up and clean immediatly after sex?
Thank you very much. P.S. we are both male.
