You can catch gonorrhea more than once, but once it's cured, it won't come back without reinfection. Talk to your health care provider about appropriate testing schedules to make sure you didn't get a new case.
If the antibiotics eliminated the infection, the only way for it to come back is to be re-infected again.
If exposed again to the bacteria, gonorrhea can come back.
You can catch gonorrhea again after treatment, but gonorrhea is not a life-long illness. It will not recur after effective treatment unless you catch it again.
You can be infected again with gonorrhea.
Assuming he treatment was effective, the only way to be re-infected is to be re-exposed again.
