Freaking out

[fugundo]

Still kind of worried about my encounter the other day after receiving oral sex from a woman in a massage parlor.   I came home that day washed very well and started drinking a lot of fluids.    I ended up starting to take antibiotics as well.  I had a prescription for Levaquin 500 mg pills.   I have 20 days worth.   Will that kill anything that I could have contracted?

I'm sure that your sources are outdated.   There has been huge gonorrhea resistance (meaning the meds won't cure it any more) for many meds.  The ONLY recommended treatment now for gonorrhea is only one medication.  http://www.cdc.gov/std/treatment/2006/updated-regimens.htm

Not from what I have read and looked into.   It is actually listed for one of the uses.

Levaquin doesn't cure gonorrhea.

I have levaquin for an ear infection and I had two refills.  So i just filled. them.  Wouldn't it just make sense to take it to its completion?   Levaquin should kill anything in the body that is foreign

Stop taking meds you don't need.  If they don't work, then you have screwed up the time line for testing, and it creates resistance.

Why do you have levaquin?  

Getting anything from oral sex is not terribly likely, so stop taking the meds, and if you must, test for gonorrhea and NGU two weeks after taking your last levaquin, which should be now.  (If you hadn't taken that, you could test at a week after the exposure.)
