Exposure to Gonorrhea

Last night, I exchanged hand-jobs with a guy who had tested positive for Gonorrhea last week.  He was given both a shot and a pill about 4 days ago.  After he ejaculated, I wiped up his semen with Kleenex and I'm sure I got a tiny bit of his semen on my clean hand.  Not thinking, I tucked my own genitals into my jeans and zipped up.

I have read some forums that say a person who is given antibiotics is non-contagious after 24 hours.  Others say two days and still others say seven days.  All of his symptoms have cleared up and he no longer feels any pain, so I know the antibiotics are working.

I'm concerned about the various time frames I'm reading about, regarding how long it takes for the antibiotics to render him non-contagious.  I'm not normally a hypochondriac, but all day today I've felt like I have a burning sensation in my urethra.  I don't want to rush out and get tested, if it's a good bet that he's no longer contagious.

Thanks, man!  I figured the risk was low.  It's not like I opened my urethra or anything.  I just put my junk back in my boxers and zipped up.

You had no risk, even if he had not medicated.
