gonorrhea but my bf doesn't want to get tested

I had been having severe abdominal  pain so I went to the ER and they could not determine the cause and all of my tests came back negative including the culture test. I continued having them and a few days later I went again only to have to repeat all of the tests and a ct scan. The Dr. found out that I had an ovarian cyst which is what is causing the pain,but a few days later he notified me that I also had gonorrhea. My boyfriend and I have been together for 3 years, but we did split for a few months around the middle of the relationship. He says that he hasn't had any other partners and my last tests wer negative. Now he doesn't feel that he needs to be tested. Is there a way for this FOOL to get the antibiotics anyway? I will just assume that somewhere there is a lie in his story or that it possibly occured during our seperation. Either way I would like any info that may be given

I definitely don't plan on doing that, which is the reason why we haven't had any other sexual encounters. For some reason he believes that it simply goes away in men and I have found conflicting advice regarding that on here. Either way we are at the end of our relationship with his refusal to get tested/treated. We stay in a small town so I don't want it to continue to circulate.

obviously you can't have sex with him again until he at least gets treated. Since gonorrhea is showing up now in the relationship, I'd insist that he get a full std screening done to cover all the bases so no other surprises show up down the road.
