Q: my partner and i got treated for gonorrhea by the injection and we had unprotected sex 6 days into the treatment. should we be ok? should i go retested today or is it too soon?

: I think you'd need another course of treatment for gonorrhea as the usual recommendation is to abstain from sex for 7 days after the injection. It is also recommended to get treated for chlamydia which often coexists with gonorrhea.and requires a different antibiotic .

It depends on the STD. Cephalexin isn't normally used for STD treatment. It might cure gonorrhea or, less likely, interfere with a positive gonorrhea test. - does that mean my test result for Jan 2 and Jan 9 is accurate? I only had cephalexin 3days?
