You should be treated for gonorrhea only if it is diagnosed in your partner. I raised that possibility because it is high risk, but you can wait until you know. When chlamydia testing is done, gonorrhea testing is automatic, so you should know in a couple of days, and it is entirely safe to wait that long.

Hope you were tested and are taking the meds under care of an MD. If not do so and if you think you were exposed let her/him know.
