Q: can a woman have gonorrhoea for months or years without symptoms? and transmitting it to her boyfriend who gets the symptoms after 6 months of sexual intercourse with her ?

: Women can carry gonorrhea for a few months, but not for years. The male partner of a woman with gonorrhea almost always becomes infected within 3-4 episodes of unprotected vaginal sex.
