Awaiting tests, but today i noticed sore throat when i swallow. performed oral sex on woman 7 days ago and unprotected sex. no other symptoms. if it's oral gonorrhea, does the soreness get worse? what are characteristics of sore throat? come and go?

Usually no symptoms: Oral gonorrhea almost always (95% of the time) is asymptomatic, with no sore throat at all. On the infrequent occasions it causes symptoms, they would not come and go. Also, cunnilingus -- oral-vaginal contact -- rarely transmits gonorrhea or other STDs. Most likely your symptoms are not from any infection from that exposure. But see a doctor if symptoms continue or you remain concerned.

It is possible: In both women and men, gonorrhea may cause the anus to itch. It can also result in a discharge and painful bowel movements. Itching and soreness of the throat with trouble swallowing may be symptoms of an oral infection. Nine out of 10 oral infections show no symptoms at all. Seek a physician if you feel you have been exposed to an STD
