she was tested and found to be positive but i haven't had sex for three yrs and have no symptoms
and she says she hasn't had sex for a decade.???Can it be a latent case that i have harbored for years with no symptoms??

Brief Answer:
May be dormant

Detailed Answer:
Hi and welcome.
Gonorrhea may be dormant for several years and it doesn't need to cause any symptoms. However,in most cases there are symptoms within few weeks after infection. It would be best if you tests too and then everything will be clear. Wish you good health. Regards
