The question?: You didn't actually ask a question. Most often the reason that treatment for gonorrhea fails is that everyone who needed treatment didn't get treated and so you got re-infected. However, there has been increasing resistance of gonorrhea to antibiotics and testing for sensitivity may be needed to be sure which antibiotic is best to treat you. Hope this answers your question.
