If i have a sore throat and had sex with someone with gonorrhea, should i get tested?

Yes: Make sure that your doctor does a swab specific for gonorrhea too because the swabs used for strep won't detect ghonorrhea.

Yes: If you have a persistent sore throat, regardless of sexual activity, you should be checked by your doctor.
