Gonorrhea transmission

Gonorrhea is primarily transmitted through sexual contact with an infected individual, and it can be contracted through unprotected vaginal, anal, or oral sex, even in the absence of visible symptoms. In rare cases, Gonorrhea can also be transmitted from a mother to her baby during childbirth. To minimize the risk of transmission, it is important to practice safe sex by consistently using condoms and getting tested regularly for STIs. If you are sexually active with a new partner or at risk of Gonorrhea transmission, it is crucial to undergo STI testing. Early detection and timely treatment play a significant role in preventing the spread of Gonorrhea and maintaining optimal sexual health.
