Experience with gonorrhea

[Anonymous]

So, how long does it take from when you get the virus, before you can pass it on to someone else?

My fiance got a positive test for gonorrhea, received the results last Thursday from a test the week before. Trying to determine the timing of when he might have gotten it. I am currently awaiting my test results from Friday. Tested clean for everything so far, but test for gonorrhea takes longer.

He started having symptoms last tuesday. We had sex the Sunday morning before that. Protected anal, unprotected oral.

I haven't been with anyone else in over a year.

He says he hasn't been either. However, he was blackout drunk the night of his birthday and doesn't even remember a few of the places we went to. So, I consider it a possibility he received a birthday BJ from someone at one of those places. That was about a week before he started showing symptoms, which he thought was just a UTI.

He had also been out the night before we had sex, and who knows what might have occurred then.

Also, anyone know if there are non-sexual ways of contracting it? We both smoke pot, and wondering if passing a bowl around with an infected person could have done it.
