What is the likelihood of getting gonorrhea of the throat from receiving oral sex?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No certain numbers: Gonorrhea doesn't appear spontaneously, but comes from an infected person. Thus, if one's partner has no gonorrhea, the couple can have oral sex all month long and nobody gets gonorrhea. If one of them has the infection, we cannot predict how long before both are infected. In real life, it is not possible to tell one person's chances of catching gonorrhea... but he can ask his Dr. to test for it.
