A member asked:
I had an outbreak out hsv 2 in april, and haven't had intercourse since. is it possible for gonorrhea to have formed during the outbreak or after?

No: you cannot get Gonorrhea from HSV infection. However Gonorrhea could be contacted earlier without symptoms and the presence of HSv may unmask the spread of gonorrhea resulting in symptoms. geting tested and receiving treatment and use protective will be neccessary to prevent further STD and possible need for long term HSV management to reduce outbreaks

Remember: Gonorrhea is an infection that you have to "contract" from someone. The only way for you to become infected with gonorrhea is to be sexually active with someone already infected.
