Is gonherreah spread through kissing
I found out I had gonherreah from a recent uranalysis and I was taking a antibiotic for a week now and finished and just got a gentamicin shot today and had azothromicin. I’m going on a date Sunday and I was wondering if kissing that person can put them in any harm. Thank you

The gonorrhoea infection is present in the mucuos membranes of the mouth , throat , eyes etc. You may transmit the infection at this stage . So until you have stopped all treatment and are completely asymptomatic , you should take relevant precautions.

You have been diagnosed with Gonorrhea based on urine analysis, but the presence of the bacteria in the Saliva can be confirmed only after salivary culture. Till then it cannot be said whether it can be transmitted by kissing, but nonetheless, it would be a logical thing to avoid the potential chance of transmitting the disease to some other person till the time your disease is completely cured.
