A member asked:

Can my boyfriend have gotten gonorrhea (&passed it to me) by having unprotected oral sex?or does it necesarrily mean he had unprotected sex?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

More info needed: Thanks for your question! Gonorrhea is generally confined to the genital area, but I have seen cases where it spreads to different parts of the body. Only once have a seen a case where someone had gonorrhea in the throat (this was initial presentation). Most likely it is from unprotected intercourse.
