Stop taking all those unnecessary antibiotics. See a doctor if your symptoms continue. Probably they are not from your unprotected sexual exposure. Discuss with a clinic or doctor who understands STDs. Good luck.

I am sorry to have a completely different response than Dr. Raff. But, you were mistreated. Cipro is no longer effective to treat Gonorrhea or potential gonorrhea. There is a significant epidemic in the world requiring a shot of Ceftriaxone to treat GC or presumed GC any more.I would advise getting an expert on STDs as your family doctor.

See you gynecologist: they will evaluate you and decide the best course of treatment. If there is presence of a sore, you definitely need to be evaluated.
