Yes!: Having an active STD is a major risk factor for contracting other STDs, and this includes HIV. And yes a partner can transfer gonorrhea and HIV to someone. It is therefore imperative for the infected person to seek treatment and to only practice safe sex with a condom. Full disclosure of any STDs should be made to sexual partners. Please be very careful with your sex life and I wish you well!
