how did we get gonorrhea?
3 months ago i(24ftm) had unprotected sex with 3 different men, all of whom swore they were clean. i ended up dating one for the next three months. he tested positive for gonorrhea yesterday but i tested negative last month.
- i started birth control 3 months ago
- i dont remember when but pretty soon after i noticed genital itching but it went away
- i noticed green/yellow/gray discharge but ignored it at first for several reasons
- sex became painful, i had a fishy smell & bad itch if i wore non cotton underwear
- after abt 2 months my boyfriend took me to the dr and i got a swab, urine, and blood test. we'd been sleeping together daily for those two months. everything except BV came back negative
- my symptoms went away while being treated only for BV but we continued sleeping together without protection through my treatment
- this month the day after my period started the exact same symptoms came back so i told my bf and he revealed he'd been having unusual discharge & pain for abt 5 days (we kept sleeping together during this bc i didn't know about it)
- i haven't had any fishy smell and ive noticed odd discharge with my urine that wasn't there last month + blood from my urethra (i thought i was spotting so i used a tampon and there was blood on the string with discharge but only discharge - no blood on the tampon itself)
- boyfriend went in to see dr a few days ago, got a pill for yeast infection & said it made him feel way better, but then yesterday got results back positive for gonorrhea. my appointment is on thursday. he insisted he wasn't cheating but we broke up anyway
with my timeline, how likely is it that i had a false negative test? he had an ex who cheated on him over a year ago but he never tested after that. is it possible he wasn't cheating on me?
