You are going to give yourself an IV?  Please.

Just go to the doctor and get tested.  You might not even have it, and it won't cure gonorrhea, to be sure.

I read in this forum from Dr Hansfield that levaquin will treat gonorrhea and chlamydia. My question was will one dose be sufficient to cure both.

It MIGHT cure gonorrhea, but its not the recommended treatment.

And I don't give doses out to people who haven't tested and are trying to self treat.  If you want to do a search yourself, that's fine, but there are limitations to treating yourself.

First, if you aren't a trained medical professional, giving yourself an IV is a really bad idea.  Also, if you take this, and your symptoms don't go away, you can't get accurate tests results for 2 weeks.  Also, this is how resistance to meds develops.    

And you don't even know if you have either.
