Can gonorrhea be dormant for a couple of years then become active to spread? also can someone get it from a toilet seat if body fluids is on the seat?

KnowYourPartner!!!: Gonorrhea is a very impatient bugger. It won't wait to make you miserable if you're a man (2-5 days), longer if a woman: up to a couple of weeks, unless it starts spreading further. But you should feel something after a while( discomfort, discharge, weird smell). Rarely it sneaks up into the bloodstream to cause fever, joint pains and a rash. but, dormant for a "couple of years?" No.
