A member asked:

I am in a monogamous relationship, am i safe from gonorrhea?

4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Maybe, maybe not: Two people in a monogamous relationship must both start out free of gonorrhea. That means "the couple" is gonorrhea-free. Then, each partner must stay monogamous in order for gonorrhea to not enter the couple's relationship by way of a third party.

Thank

No: You are only one side of a monogamous relationship. Your partner being the other side is independent of you and although you may think you know the person- one never does 100%.
