I haven't had sex in a year. so why now did my test come back positive for gonorrhea ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Get it treated ASAP: Usually Gonorrhea causes symptoms of vaginal discharge, pelvic pain sooner than a year but since it has potential to cause infertility, get it treated. Your partner should be treated too.
