I am freaking out please help me. Do I have gonorrhea, again??

I am a young male adult and I was tested positive for gonorrhea last year. The underwear that I was using at that time, when my penis was discharging a white liquid,had many steins due that white liquid. After one year, I didn't realize that I was wearing that same underwear that I still don't understand how it got to my underwear drawer. That same day that I was wearing that underwear I had oral and anal sex with my partner (but using a condom while performing anal sex to him). I didn't realize I was wearing the same underwear with the white stains until after the sex. Right now it's been four days since that happened. Since almost two days ago I have a sore throat and I am freaking out because I think I got infected by gonorrhea again. I don't know if I have a sore throat because I am catching a cold or because I got gonorrhea. My penis is not discharging any white liquid or anything. So I don't know if should get tested again or is it just a cold?? If a person has gonorrhea and they have a sore throat, would that sore throat be continuous or it would stop after a few days?? Also, can a person get gonorrhea with the scenario that I just described?? (Can someone get gonorrhea if your penis has contact with stain discharges of gonorrhea??)

Even if you didn't wash the underwear, bacteria like Gonorrhea or Chlamydia can only live outside the body for less than an hour. I'm probably even wrong on that, for it may be that it Gonorrhea and Chlamydia require intimate contact in order for the diseases to be transfered, and that they cannot be transfered once they are outside the body and on a surface such as underwear.

In any case, you really have nothing to worry about. I have heard of all kinds of cases of people contracting STDs, but never have I heard someone contracting an STD through clothes (except for crabs, and you definitely don't have that either).
