Can u have protected sex after being treated for gonnarhea?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes in general: However, i usually ask my patients to abstain from sex until i repeat their test of cure a couple weeks later. If you can't wait, please use a condom.

Typically yes: Condom protected sex is the best way to prevent sexually transmitted diseases. However it is not 100% effective. I recommend post treatment culture to make sure the treatment was effective. Also it is important that your sexual partner be tested for the common stds because where there is one there may be others.
