HELP!!!!

So i went to the doctor to get a normal check up, so i got tested for the usual STDs the doctor told me she would contact me when my results came back. She called me a couple days later and told me I had gonorrhea. I was given one injection of Ceftriaxone. Within 7 days the burning began to clear up. One the 7th day I had sexual intercourse with my partner when i woke up the irritation came back and my cycle came. I am i still carrying this STD? Is it possible that my partner will be infected if we use a comdon? Do i need to contact my doctor?

Ok this info helps me more.
So you use condoms with current guy, he is protected no real need for him to get tested. it could be that you had sex a little too soon and that is why you have the irritation now. i would move up the appointment to get looked at because there are no home remedies.
Chances are you are cured of gonorrhea but there is always a possibility that it is hanging around still. I would also wait to have sex again until you see your Dr.

my partner i am currently with was tested but he didnt have it, we always used comdons. This other guy i had sex with about a month ago gave it to me from unprotected sex..so is a chance my current partner( the guy i always use condoms with) can have this STD  and will i have to take another infection? and is this injection as accurate as any other anitbotic that you have to take for 7 days..I am confused about the whole medication part...

You and your partner need to both be treated. Chances are your partner also had gonorrhea.
Both go to a Dr and get tested and treated (again for you). Do not have sex for 7-10 days after treatment has ended.
