Question: I just tested positive for gonorrhea. My partner is 7 weeks pregnant.

She is going to her doctor tomorrow, but I know there are some doctors who will provide medicine when there is risk of exposure (one time a doctor gave me antibiotics to get rid of chlamydia even though I never had a test for it, but I told him my partner at the time was positive).

She leaves out of the country for a two week vacation on Sunday. I'm just worried that they won't give her medication and instead ask her to test for it, which takes days, and we don't have days. I'm just hoping the doctor sees that there is a serious risk and give her the necessary shot and medicine beforehand, because I know if untreated for a long time it can lead to miscarriage.





My gonorrhea was misdiagnosed, twice. I went to one doctor who said I tested positive for a UTI. The symptoms went away, but then two weeks later they came back. Once again I was told that I have a UTI, then I was given Bacitrim I believe.

I could have had this treated 30 days ago if diagnosed correctly and I asked the doctors if this could be something else and they assured me it wasn't.

I'm now worried that their misdiagnosis may have caused permanent harm to me (internally) and my partner, maybe even a possible miscarriage in the coming weeks.
