Hi there.
I note with interest you said your husband was diagnosed with 'gonorrhea'.
In this case, both partners & contacts should be treated for the disease irrespective of who contracted it from whom!
Also, in your case, it is more likely to be a mixed infection & your doctor can recommend you both a gram positive & a gram negative handling antibiotic among other things & please take the medication for the duration recommended & both partners' should be treated 'again' at the same time.
Abstain for sex in the treatment period & do treat all fomites (undergarments/towels/sheets) etc as advised using a hot water rinse cycle & the recommended disinfectants.
Please do practice safe sex & address the issue going forward.
Good Luck & Godspeed.
