Can you get gonarrhea from bug repellent
In October, my bf said he had gonorrhea, he said he sprayed on some insect repellent on his skin but before he could wash his hands, he masturbated. He said he felt burning and he started to pee pus and they were other symptoms of the std ,few days later he got tested and he was positive. I never had sex with anyone else and he didn't (I know there could be a possibility he could've cheat but just day he didn't ). Could he have gotten it from the insect repellent?

I can understand your concern. It's definitely a hoax.
Don't believe all such things.
Gonorrhea is a sexually transmitted infections and you can get it from infected partners .
Consult a general physician in person for further evaluation and management.
