gonorrhea and cephalexin
Hello. Tested positive for gonorrhea on 3/4 - I believe due to receiving oral sex around 2/20. I was not symptomatic until 3/1. I had unprotected vaginal intercourse w/ my girlfriend in the days before I became symptomatic. My girlfriend had been taking cephalexin 4 times a day from 2/24 until a day or so ago (she had a minor dental procedure and was prescribed the cephalexin I'm assuming to prevent infection). Would the cephalexin have treated any potential gonorrhea infection? Thanks
Vance is right. Especially that she is a woman and women tend to not get symptoms that are noticeable. The medication may have supressed it not necessarily curing it.
