Gonorrhea - How Long For ???
Hello,
After my research on internet (01/11/09), I learned that I got infected by Gonorrhea after receiving unprotected oral sex from my partner who had Tonsil throat infection. The symptoms (penile discharge, burning sensation, frequent need to urine) started about 3 days after the act and upon describing the symptoms to my Dr. he gave me i) Ciprofloxacin 500mg ii) Doxycycline Monohydrate 100mg twice a day for 2 weeks whilst refraining from doing any lab tests as he is not a specialist in STDs etc. (Note: No Lab Tests Done)
The above treatment did not eliminate the symptoms completely and thus I was given another course of Cipro500mg 2tabs/day x 5 days... And the symptoms stand still same ...
I got tested (16/12/09) my blood, urine & urethral swab, and the results are :
Negative: Trichomonas, Candida, Chlamydia, Syphilis, HIV 1 antibodies, HIV 2 antibodies
Positive: Gonorrhea
After the results, Dr. gave me, ONLY Doxycycline100mg 1tab/day x 30 days
I believe that Doxy can be used for Chlamydia ... not Gonorrhea, isn't it ?
Can anyone please, please help me with this as the symptoms started around 01/11/09 and now its almost 2 months still continuing (though only 20% compared to when symptoms started)
Thanks/Regards,
Johnny

Heyy G,

Kisses... and wish you a very very happy new year ... God Bless for your good work !

You need a shot of ceftriaxone at this point since you were never properly treated for gonorrhea.
My advise at this point is - see a different provider than the one you've been seeing.
