Is it less likely for men to catch gonorrhea from women than women catching from men?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Only a little: Men are somewhat less likely to be infected from a single exposure than women are. But not by much; anyone who has had sex with a partner known to have gonorrhea should be treated for it, even if they have no symptoms and their test for gonorrhea is negative.
