Thank you. Happy new year to you.
Thanks vance. The internet has made me paranoid because it said that male gonorrhea can clear in 6 weeks but takes 3/6 months in women.
I have been worried that i had passed the infection before self curing and then tested negative for that reason.
My last question, surely if this did happen my girlfriend would have reinfected me over the last 7 months?
My tests were at 5 and 6 months after the exposure. As i said both negative.
Its been nearly 7 months and two negative tests.
She has been having spot bleeding between periods and i thought this might be because of me.
If i am negative from this exposure surely she will be, is that correct?
You would have tested positive
Hi vance,
Its been a few months since my last post.
Although the odds are on my side, i decided to take a test for piece of mind and for the safety of my girlfriend - all negative.
This was a stupid drunken mistake that i will never do again! I would like to finally put this behind me. I am now safe to assume that my partner hasnt infected from this exposure? Surely if she was i would have tested positive? Am i correct?
I look forward to your comments. Thanks again.
1. Over 90% of men get symptoms, less for women but you most likely would have had symptoms by day 5.
2. Doubt you even would have had it but if you did then it would have
3. If he said it then yes.
I'm happy at 1 in 1 million Vance, just a few more educational questions.
I have decided not to be tested.
Thanks for your help.
I can't help with anxiety and going over and over again is not going to change the answer.
Simple either test to ease your mind or don't.
Final Q:
I had a very brief exposure (30 seconds), I decided not to get tested because I had no symptoms after 10 days.
1. In the 1 in 1 million chance that I had contracted this without knowing and passed this to my partner, would one of us have had symptoms by now?
2. Considering it’s been 6 months with no symptoms, how likely would it be that gonorrhoea would have self-cured? (unlikely, very likely etc)
3. Doc Hook made reference to 1 month self-cure for a man and 3 months for a women? Is this correct?
Thank you!
Testing if you have a partner to be safe or to easy your mind.
Hi Vance,
So contracting gonorrhoea from insertive oral sex near is 1 in 1 million?
Why do some medical advisors advise for testing if the risks are 1 in 1 million?
Surely these transmissions cant happen that regular?
Thanks Vance.
So based on the UK figures provided above (35,000 cases of gonorrhoea with 1% from oral), the chance of catching gonorrhoea from fellatio (man from women) would be less than 1 in 1 million? is that correct?
Yes, probably even less of a risk.
