i know youz are just going to sy to get another checkup anyway. and i will. this is just kind of to give me a perspective of my chances.

i went to the doctor a few months ago to get checked for sti/aids and she said since it was a year since my last checkup she would see it unlikely that i had Gonorrhea for all the time and me & my [steady]boyfriend both dont know about it.
so i didnt get the Gonorrhea  check/test. but the reason why i was there in the 1st place is b/c i had unprotected sex with a random a few months befor ei got wif my boyfirend.
since the doctor said its unlikely that bothme&my boyfriend dont feel any different [no symptoms of Gonorrhea] i thought she was reliable enough to know.

but i just read that many people are living with Gonorrhea  and dont know it? is that true for long periods of time? or if you do get symptoms do they only occur in the 1st few months or somthing?

please answer .

No home tests, but there are services online who will order lab tests for you.  Just type STD testing into google and they will come up.  You'll still have to go to the lab and drop off a sample, but for gonorrhea and chlamydia it's just a cup of urine.

What I've read before said around 25% of men are asymptomatic, and about half of women.  I'm sure it varies by how long you would have had it.  For example some women can become symptomatic after a month or longer.

So chances?  Low, it's definitely more likely that you don't have it.  But not impossible.

In any event, if it were me, I'd be tested, because I'd rather waste a little money on a test which comes back negative than potentially have a disease and not be aware.  That's just my personal opinion.
