A member asked:

Will oral gonorrhea give a positive strep result? and also, what are the chances of getting gonorrhea but not oral gonorrhea if you gave oral?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Different: A strep test is to answer yes or no about strep. Only strep. A GC test is for gonorrhea. You can get it in vagina or penis from sexual intercourse. You can get it in the throat from oral sex.

I am a gay man, and at a recent routine STD testing this week I was diagnosed & treated for gonorrhea, detected in my throat only; anal swab was negative. Do I need to tell a recent sexual partner who gave me oral sex? I did not give oral to him.
