Oral Gonnerreah!!!! help needed ASAP.....Please.

[cbonner]

Hi Doc, i have a problem that i really hope you can help with. At the end of last year i visited a massage/sex club and had protected sex and protected oral sex given to me, i feel certain that the condom did not break at all. when i returned home i
waited for 14 days then went and got myself tested for chlamyd & gonn which was negative, about a month after that i got into a relationship and thought i would do the resposible thing and go and get myself a full STD screen which all was negative
i then started with a physical relationship, i was given oral unprotected sex without me finishing for approx 1 minute. about a month after that she got a small white filled spot at the back of the throat ( approx 2mm in size ) i kinda freaked out at this so
i went and got myself tested again( full screen inc hiv,syphillis etc)which came back negative again and then i got her to see her Dr, he gave her pencillan 250mg 4 times daily for 1 week. this has not resolved it and i am very anxious that somehow she may have oral gonorrhoea from me.
the questions i would like to ask are:

1)i have had in total 3 screenings all negative,could they all be wrong.

2) what would be the chance of her getting oral gonnorreah from me.

3)What would oral Gonnorreah look like?

There is no swollen glands,no sore throat allthough she does say she is aware of something being there

If you could describe the syptoms of oral gonnerreah i would be etenally grateful and is it likely that i would have some chronic symptoms like pain and discharge
which i do not have.

Thanks

You are panicked over nothing.  Almost all cases of oral gonorrhea are entirely asymptomatic. On rare occasions, there may be a mild sore throat, but it doesn't cause the kind of symptom your partner had.  Given the nature of your exposure (very low risk), no symptoms to suggest you have gonorreha, and three (!) negative tests, why is this even on your mind?  Your odds of winning the next lottery twice in a row are higher than the possbility you have gonorrhea that you give to your girlfriend.

Most likely your partner's sore throat with a "white spot" isn't even related to sex with you.  If it is, herpes would be a far more likely explanation than gonorrhea.

Sorry to have to ask  but is it possible to have Gonnerreah and not exhibit any symptoms such as dischrge and pain upon urination?

Thanks

That is common for women and extremely rare for men.  You do not have urethral gonorrhea, period.

Hi again Doc, can i just ask is it possible for men to have Gonnorreah and not have the burning when urinateing or the discharge, it amazes me since my activities that i have learnt that most STD's could be silent, i think it may be the monestary for me !!!

This may be relevent but i just thought that she had a case of shingles recently,could this be related and even if it couldnt she was given aclivoir( think thats the spelling) 800mg twice daily so that should have cleared up the problem if it was related to herpes i assume??? any clarification would be gratefully received.
