2 separate: These are different germs with differing sensitivities to antibiotics. Two types of antibiotics are usually required.Clarification of your status and exclusion of other treatable STD'd is part of the regular workup. The doctor who ordered the tests should choose what to treat you with based on what is available in your country.
