Some will: Yes, but gonorrhea is resistant to many antibiotics. Injectable Ceftriaxone is currently the best choice, but we're quickly running out of choices because of drug resistance, with few new antibiotics being developed. There may come a time when people develop untreatable gonrrhea, which will make peeing a very unpleasant activity.
