How long after gonorrhea treatment am I still contagious?

I'm a man who received oral sex last week from an unknown male partner and 2 days later developed symptoms consistent with gonorrhea.  I was treated with a shot of ceftriaxone (in addition to azithromycin for presumed chlamydia although that came back negative).

That was 3 days ago.  I'm going to be seeing my boyfriend tomorrow and he will likely want to have sex. what is the risk of passing on gonorrhea to him now that I've been treated?

Its nearly impossibe for a female to contract Gono from a male oral sex. If he did have gono, your vagina would need to be incontact with the back of his throat as thats where the gono would be, not on the tongue. But to answer your question its best to wait a week after treatment.
