Dr. PAUL EUN answered

Wait a week: Gonorrhea can be treated very quickly if the right antibiotic is used. I would wait a week or so. More importantly, you should make sure you don't get reinfected. Checke with your doctor in a few months and undergo repeat testing to make sure you haven't gotten reinfected.
