How long til you can have sex after being treated for gonorrhea?

How long til you can have sex after being treated for gonorrhea?My boyfriend was just treated for gonorrhea three days ago, when will it be okay for us to have sex without me getting the infection? Thanks.

Its whether you want it or not.

It can take a week. After that I would recommend to wait at least another 7 days to be sure!

Several antibiotics can successfully cure gonorrhea in adolescents and adults. However, drug-resistant strains of gonorrhea are increasing in many areas of the world, including the United States, and successful treatment of gonorrhea is becoming more difficult. Because many people with gonorrhea also have chlamydia, another STD, antibiotics for both infections are usually given together. Persons with gonorrhea should be tested for other STDs.

It is important to take all of the medication prescribed to cure gonorrhea. Although medication will stop the infection, it will not repair any permanent damage done by the disease.

People who have had gonorrhea and have been treated can get the disease again if they have sexual contact with persons infected with gonorrhea. If a person's symptoms continue even after receiving treatment, he or she should return to a doctor to be reevaluated.

STD Survivor is correct and gave you very informative information with the links. Please do not listen to those that tell you whenever you want to or you will be infected as well. If yo have had sexual intercourse or contact with him at all recently, you need to be checked anyway! A person whether male or female that have any of the STD's, DO NOT HAVE SYMPTOMS and therefore spread it without knowing it.Also you should protect yourself at all times with a condom or abstinence, HIV can't be cured! Be safe, get checked!
