Gonorrhea in Women

The Importance of Testing

Because of the nature of this disease as well as other STD’s, it is incredibly important to take certain precautions before engaging in sexual activity. First, make sure to use a condom every time. Just one-time having sex or engaging in any kind of sexual activity without protection is enough to pass the illness. It is also important to get full STD tests regularly and to encourage your partner to do the same. If you are consistently sexually active, you should visit your doctor about every six months for testing.
