Hard To Say: Depends upon how long it take to develop pelvic inflammatory disease in women or epididymitis in men. My best guess is this may take.

Immediately: Gonorrhea is always serious and should be treated immediately. The infected individual should not have sexual relations with anyone until cured. Antibiotics are usually successful.
