6-8 weeks: He did not choose to treat for both. It is the required treatment protocol for both GC + CT positive. Your partner should be similarly treated.

What if you are allergic to Rocephin and have Gonorrhea and Chlamydia? Will the replace medications actually treat it? I keep reading the treatment to cure is Rocephin. What are the chances of something else to cure it?

I had taken a 10 day course of doxycycline then had a rocephin shot 3 days later with a 10 day course of levaquin if I did have oral gonorrhea/chlamydia would that have helped?
