No, if it didn't show up on these most recent tests, you don't have it. You just didn't contract it this time, luck was on your side :)

Thank you for teh answers!    This is what happened:   After having the last sexual encounter with my ex-girlfriend last October she contacted me 5 weeks ago telling me that she has Gonorrea and has not been with anyone else in over  a year.
I didn't have any symptoms: discharge, burn, blood, etc....) but to be sure I went to see a Dr.  He asked me to bring a semen sample: Get shower, clean very well, get the semen and bring it to the laboratory between an hour of the eyaculation for better results. (they gave me a especial container)  I did it the following day and the only bacteria they found was "citrobacter freundii".  He told me it was a urinary infection and sent me antibiotics but told me I have none STDs.
I also got tested for everything in april 07 and was clean of any STDs and only have relations with my ex.
I also must mention that my newer partners (2 of them: One in Nov. the other from Dec. until now)  has not any signs or complains of STDs or the like and so far.
Is my ex making things up?   Could I be a carrier and don't have it but give it to others?   How long do gonorrea symptoms will take to show up?
My ex claims that I can be a carrier and don´t show up in the test.  No sure what else to do, another test?
Thank you so much!!!!   Confused208

Small correction.  Most men with Gonorrhea are symptomatic.  For women it's about half.  But still, many men are asymptomatic.

It is true that most women with Chlamydia are asymptomatic.

Still, the yes answer is right, just wanted to clear that up a bit.

Yes. While some people get symptoms, most people are asymptomatic. Same thing with chlamydia.
