A member asked:
Is it possible to have gonorrhoea and not show symptoms for 5 years in male? can i still get life threating issue from it? test recommended?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not possible: Same question second time. Same answer: gonorrhea is not carried so long, especially in men, and is almost never life threatening. You don't need testing. But if you will feel better having a negative test, feel free to do it.
