Gonorrhea transmission

Gonorrhea is mainly spread through sexual contact with an infected individual and can be contracted through unprotected vaginal, anal, or oral sex, even when no visible symptoms are present.In rare cases, Gonorrhea can also be transmitted from a mother to her baby during childbirth. To reduce 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.
