Talk with partner: Occasionally there can be an error in testing ( false positive). You can have the test repeated before getting treatment but don't have sex until confirmed and treated. If it is still + then you need to speak with your partner and you partner should get tested. http://www.cdc.gov/std/Gonorrhea/STDFact-gonorrhea.htm

A few possibilities: The usual explanation in situations like this is that the male has had other partners. He may have been treated and didn't tell you; or his infection cleared up on its own, which can happen over a few weeks. If you were infected from someone else, your husband may just be lucky so far. Test results can be false, but rarely. You both need treatment, regardless of his test result. Good luck!

Hurting you?: If you are asymptomatic, do not worry about finding few WBCs from vaginal discharge. More in its significance? Ask your ordering doctor.
