HELP!!!!!!!!!!

I recently have found out I had a positive Gonorrhea test. I just started a new relationship and have had sex twice unprotected and am wondering how likely is it that I have passed it on to her. She goes in for testing in a few days and we haven't had sex since I found out I was infected.

I believe that the chance is somewhere in the 40-50% range. But if you had protected sex with someone else the chance is almost zero.

I assume you tested because you got some symptoms. Symptoms of gonrrhea show in men normally 2-5 days after exposure, but up to 30 in some rare cases. So this might help you better determine who it came from.

And in woman gonorrhea only shows symptoms about 50% of the time. So your current could have gotten it months ago and never known.

Possible, but the time line seems to point to me getting it from someone I met a few days before. This encounter was protected sex but it was with someone with more risk factors   Your point is valid and I will press my current partner for info about her sexual history. But I guess my question is if I got it from my first partner how likely is it that I gave it to my current partner during our last two encounters.
