I had unprotected oral (giver) l on sept 25.   9-10 days later I tested for all stds. They all came back negative including HIV . I also tested for HIV(blood test) 10 weeks later again negative. My question is was the test for gonorrhea long enough for results to be accurate? I have no had no symptoms in 11 weeks but unusual joint pain starting about a month ago ? Can I rule out gonorrehea / due to the test at 9-10 days? I did not retest for GONN at the 10 week mark
so is 9-10 days sufficient for negative results of gonorrhea fro time of possible exposure

Very remote chance, especially with no subsequent symptoms, sore throats etc. But only a throat swab will confirm.

I can't remember it was at hospital. i did tell them oral was only exposure. may have done swab was very nervous ..so with no signs or sypmtoms from that and discharge etc.. It is unlikely i have it?

Well a urine test is no good for this exposure, did you tell your doctor oral sex was the concern? Seek a throat swab if you have concerns.

The joint pain is unrelated I would suggest.

thanks... a urine test and blood test no symptoms in throat
I have some unusual joint pain ,,read that that can happen..it came about way after the 9 days of testing negative  for all the stds

Oral sex poses a very low risk of STI/STD infection. HIV was no practical risk and you have eliminated that possibility. Without symptoms in your throat, any bacterial STI is also remote.

If you had a throat swab 9 days after from the throat for gon/chlam then with no further symptoms I'd suggest you are fine. Was this the case?
