Dear Drs,I am aware of the policy re: anxiety-driven questions and the question cap, but I have one closing question that will really help ease my mind for good. Please allow this last one!

Re-cap:

Trans MTF escort just over 7 weeks ago
- Deep kissing
- Fully protected oral sex (me receiving)

Throat swab @ 27 days - negative for G & C
G & C urine @ 26 days and again at 7 weeks - negative
All bloods @ 26 days, 35 days, 7 weeks - negative

My wife is pregnant, which is why this has been the most stressful time of my life.

At her first antenatal appointment she gave a urine sample and it was discovered it contained bacteria (but asymptomatic). She was not treated with any antibiotics.

A few days ago she complained that it hurt while urinating and that her urine smelled a bit stronger. This set off the alarm bells in me.

My main concerns are that I acquired oral gonorrhoea 7 weeks ago (via kissing) which was cleared before my 27 day swab test, but that I infected my wife orally during that period before the test.

She gave me oral sex for the first time since the escort just over a week ago, & we had sex once or twice a few days after that.

My theory is, she maybe infected my penis via the BJ, & I then infected her vagina via intercourse. Since the BJ from my wife, I have been sensing a slight stinging, and quite red urethra.

I had a urine Gonorrhea  test at 9 days following the fellatio from my wife, & it is NEGATIVE.

1) Is the negative Gonn. test at 9 days post-fellatio from my wife conclusive that I did NOT infect her during the 27 days between the escort event and my negative swab test?
2) Is it feasible that the untreated bacteria in my wife's urine 8 weeks prior is the cause of her current symptoms?
3) Please advise me on how reliable 4 week tests are considering the infection can clear on it's own by that time?
4) Is my above theory something you've seen before, and is it feasible? Should I still worry?

Thank you!

To add to the anxiety, the Dr examined my wife's urine and said everything is fine, no UTI or no bacteria... so back to square one worrying about gonorrhea

You have been warned but you now return to this site with a nonsensical, anxiety (and guilt) driven concern that your NO RISK encounter lead to an infection which was not detected despite testing on multiple tests.  Forget it!  the exposure was no risk.  You have proven that you were not infected by testing.  Your tests are reliable and should be believed.  Your wife's symptoms are not due to gonorrhea acquired through the scenario you describe.

End of thread. Please, no further questions on this issue.  Find another way to address your apparent guilt and anxiety. EWH
