Can you have gonorrhea for 2 years without symptoms

by memphisme, Sep 30, 2009 04:54PM
I am trying to find out if my boyfriend cheated on me.  We recently got tested and we both came back positive for Gonorrhea.  We have been in a relationship for a year and a half and none of us had any symptoms, he says he had mild symptoms but nothing major enough to go to the doctor.  I want to know if this is possible to not have major symptoms for a year and a half of having Gonorrhea.  I have to get to the bottom of this.

Thanks!!

At best it would be rare. Symptoms in men of burning while urinating and/or discharge show in men about 90% of the time.

So while it is possible like I said it would be rare, but with that being said it is not going to tell you if he cheated or not. If symptoms just started for either of you my guess is that the infection was recent.

What was his symptoms?

What made both of you test?

Well he been wanting both of us to get tested for a while since both of us havent been tested since before we been together, but he didnt have insurance and I just was being lazy... so he found out about a free place and we both went together to get tested...

He said that he did feel slight burning when he peed but it wasn't intense.  He also said some clear or white discharge, but not enough to know something was wrong.  Once we were treated for it, he said he felt a difference in the way he peed.  I had no symptoms that were unordinary.  

Besides this I wouldn't have thought he cheated but to me the facts would say it all and I don't want to be stupid.
