Sorry folks I'm sure these basic questions get posted over and over again. I tried going back through the previous questions but gave up after a few pages !However I have just found out that I have managed to contract Gonorrhea (clinic advised from preliminary tests now awaiting confirmation from cultures) and probably Chlamydia as well since I was told they are commonly transmitted together. Other than my long term partner, this is from my 1st sexual contact without a condom. I was given a single dose of ciproxin (??) and told this should clear the Gonorrhea. Unfortunaetly this appears to not have done so, as I now have a clear discharge from my penis and my testicles are painful though the buring when urinating has definitly eased.Anyway the questions are can Gonorrhea and Chlamydia be spread by non-sexual contact such as sharing drinks/towels, handling clothes etc Also can one transmit these diseases orally from kissing and by just fingering an infected lady and then touching your penis ?Thanks
