A member asked:

Hi there if a person had gonarreah and had been apparently treated for it. are there tests that can prove that there was ever a gonarreah infection in the first place without the person even knowing about having this infection?

Not for prior GC : Unless there are tests results for GC prior to treatment, there is not an available antibody test to show prior infection from GC. The RPR test can show prior infection evidence from syphilis. IGG Antibody results reveal prior infection and/ or immunity from many viral infections.

No such test: Unfortunately, no. There is no test to determine wheher someone had gonorrhea in the past.
