A member asked:

How likely would it be for a man to contract gonorrhea from receiving unprotected oral sex from a women and showing no symptoms 3 weeks after. ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Get tested: It is not feasible to say. If you partner has gonorrhea, you are at high risk. You are also at risk for other STDs. It would be prudent to see a doctor for an examination and required tests.
