People at risk for gonorrhea should get tested because they could have the infection without knowing it. Women 25 and under and men who have sex with men should be tested annually and if they have a new partner. Others should be tested if they or their partners had a new partner.

How people get gonorrhea?

Gonorrhea is caused by a bacteria spread through sexual contact, typically intercourse. It is an STD. Some form of sexual contact, skin to skin, is required to spread the infection. It is not spread by air/respiratory, touching an object, etc. One person has to be infected, even if they do not yet know they are infected. However, gonorrhea creates a very specific discharge.
