A member asked:
I just got treated for low intensity gonorrhea 9 hrs. ago (cefixime+doxy). i masturbated 1 hour ago. is there a risk that my seemen will reinfect me?

Wouldn't worry: Your treatment remains in your system for some time after treatment and certainly enough to kill off the germ in you over time and prevent self reinfection.However, your semen may infect a sexual contact over the next several days.
