Possible NGU

I was in Rio this past week and received oral sex from a "dancer". I've had NGU in the past and feel like it could be a possibility now.  I am married so you can imagine my concern. There is no discharge or burning.  Frequent urination today is my first symptom.  My question is:  Will Levaquin take care of NGU?  I have 750 mg prescription from a doctor for sinus?  How long would I have to take it?  I also have 500 mg prescription of Clarithromycin as well.
Thanks,

I don't give doses to people who haven't been to the doctor.  I don't believe in self treating, and I'm sure with a little research, you could find out for yourself.

I've worked in the std field for a long time, as an educator and disease intervention specialist/tracker.  I've also done HIV and Hep C testing.

Thanks for your comment.  I understand about the self-treating.  Let's say that I can't get to doctor anytime soon, if I were to take the Levaquin, how long would be long enough?  5days? 7 days?  Would the Levaquin take care of all bacteria that would cause NGU?

Medical background?  

Thanks

Levaquin would work, but you really should get tested for things first, and not ever self treat.
