[Question #13632] Oral Gonnorhea

About almost 2 years ago I performed cunnilingus on a stripper.  I never thought to get a throat swab at the time.  Is there any realistic chance that I would still have oral Gonnorhea after all this time of that event had caused an infection?

Welcome to the Forum.  I'll be glad to comment and hope that I can assure you that there is nothing to worry about.  While oral gonorrhea can occur without symptoms, most commercial sex workers do not have STis, most single exposures do not result in infection (in general but particularly with cunnilingus), and infections, when they occur, tend to resolve on their own without therapy.  Other than a low possibility of transmission to others, there are virtually no complications of oral gonorrhea when it occurs.  I would not be worried and see no reason for testing at this time.  EWH---
