How can i prevent gonorrhea?

I had an encounter where I wore a condom while receiving oral sex. Now I'm still anxious that I could catch an STD like gonorrhea. Would taking AZO (cranberry extract) a day later help me in the small chance that something was passed on to me?

As gonorrhea is a STD, proper use of barrier contraceptives such as the latex condoms will significantly reduce the risk of getting gonorrhea and its complications. However, this does not eliminate risk. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the only ways to eliminate risks is abstinence, or sex with a monogamous partner who has been previously tested.

The mainstay of treatment is the appropriate use of antibiotics. An increase in antibiotic resistance has led to the decline in use of penicillin for treating gonorrhoea. Nowadays, a third generation cephalosporin such as ceftriaxone is recommended for treating gonorrhoea.

Doctors usually prescribe a single dose of one of the following antibiotics to treat gonorrhoea:

* Cefixime 400 mg orally in a single dose, or
* Ceftriaxone 125 mg intramuscular injection in a single dose, or
* Ciprofloxacin 500 mg orally in a single dose, or
* Ofloxacin 400 mg orally in a single dose, or
* Levofloxacin 250 mg orally in a single dose

As co-infection with chlamydia is common, doctors often prescribe a combination of antibiotics, such as ceftriaxone and doxycycline or azithromycin, which will treat both diseases.

Not having sex with loads of people helps. My adivce: wait until your married. That way you know that you wont get any STD unless your wife has one.

My advice to you is, that if you wore a condom and it didn't break, then you should be fine. However, if signs of the disease to pop up, then you must see a doctor. Extracts won't phase the disease. You have to be put on pretty hefty anti-biotics. Hope this helps.

If you received oral sex with a condom on, the chance of you contracting gonorrhea is virtually zero. Don't worry about it. If you do ever see puss discharge from the penis, which can either be gonorrhea, chlyamydia, or just a simple non-specific uretral infection, then of course you'll want to see a doctor.

If you got it, you got it, and AZO isn't going to help that.

Chances are VERY small that you got it, but why not get tested to find out?

And really - if you are this anxious about STDs, either learn more about them and the realities of transmission, or abstain. It doesn't sound like you are ready to handle this.

Don't screw around.

Azo would do nothing to help in that situation.

Wait until you're married.

There are several ways to prevent clap
1. No more crack ho's
2. No more anonymous sex in the department store rest room no matter how cute he is
3. No getting a nut from a friendly bear in the adult book store
4. Don't pay for sex buy if you do use a condom and pay MORE than $20
If you decide to ignore all these safeguards and someone is going down on you, and they cant take it more than 1/3 into their mouth without gagging, you will get the clap. Go to the doc and get a shot in the ars e and be grateful it wasnt something more serious
