Question 1

can gonorrhoea be dormant in a persons body? also, can dormant std's show up in tests even if no current symptoms.

Accepted Answer

Yes and yes: "Dormant" isn't quite the right word, but gonorrhea and most other STDs can be silent, causing no symptoms. However, the tests still will detect it. This is why all sexually active young people should have periodic testing. If you haven't recently been tested for STDs (gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, HIV) ask your doctor or visit a health department or Planned Parenthood clinic. Good luck!

Question 2

Accepted Answer

Any time: You can go at any time. However oral sex is less likely to transmit sexually transmitted disease but it's Better not to wait. In the meantime, practice safe sex with all of your partners.

Question 3

LGV: Your symptoms and time frame raise the suspicion of LGV,a sti. I recommend consulting your physician or a specialist in infectious or venereal disease, preferably the latter, as soon as possible so that appropriate testing and treatment can be obtained.

Did you swab: vigorously. If you were too rough you might have caused an abrasion. If symptoms don't resolve on their own - get checked. Take care.

Ask him: If you cannot ask him about an std test, you do not know him well enough to have sex with him.

Question 10

Sometimes: All STIs are contagious, that is why they are sexually transmitted infections. All sexual partners will not be infected, but they  are at risk. It is important to know which STI was positive. All exual partners should be tested and in some cases treated.
