Re infection?: No. A dose for treatment remains the same. The question is why you were not also treated appropriately for a co-infection with gonorrhea and if the re infection is actually a treatment failure because you were not offered the better treatment by treating for both. In my clinic and in many other public health minded experts we always treat for both regardless of test results.
