A member asked:

Are there any other ways to get gonorrhea other than sex, if there are what are they? can you get it from gyno tools if they weren't cleaned right?

Dr. Robert Killian answered

Specializes in General Practice

Gonorrhea is STD: Theoretically yes. But, not in the real world. Most gyno tools are now disposable. There is significant malpractice liability for dirty equipment. Gonorrhea is transmitted by simple private to private part touching even without intercourse. Whatever, if you have gc, please get treated.
