Oral gonorrhea exposure

I gave oral to a guy a few weeks ago. He's a truck driver, and I know truck drivers are known for using sex workers and having STDs. I asked him if he was clean and he said yes; however, ever since then, I've had a headache and a very sore throat almost every day. It's kind of difficult to swallow, and I have no other symptoms indicative of allergies or a cold.

Will a throat infection of gonorrhea show up in a urine sample? Or do I need to get my throat swabbed?

I encourage you to continue to read these forums.... I really do.   .... I just don't think that driving a truck has anything to do with it.  ;)  lol...

Actually there have been MANY studies about the higher incidence of prostitution use among long-distance truck drivers. It makes sense; they spend a lot of time alone and move around the country, it's hard to maintain a regular relationship. A simple google search will show you that result. Clearly I have nothing against truck drivers considering I gave one a blowjob, lol. So let's clarify this: I'm not watching too much TV, this is proven.

Hello

Wow, I didn't know truck drivers are known for using sex workers and having STDs.  This is how myths start --too much T.V.   So let's clarify this: its simply not true.  

The answer to your question is: You need your throat swabbed!!
