Gonorrheoa / Testing?
I would like to thank you all in advance for reading my post.
This is a follow post from nearly a year ago (feel free to read my original post). I am now trying for a family with my partner (together 4 years), when we do get pregnant my partner will be STD tested for safety purposes. This brought back some of my paranoia over this episode which lead me back to medhelp for some further clarity.
I was involved in very brief inserted oral sex around 1 and half years ago now. This happened on a Batchelor party, a few of the guys hired strippers and she removed some chocolate sauce from our penis’s as a bit of a party trick – she basically sucked chocolate sauce of my penis, the whole event lasted 30/40 seconds. She did not deep throat but did suck / lick quite hard on the end of my penis with an aim to remove the chocolate. This was a dunked joke. I would never cheat on my partner and have been guilt ridden since.
Six weeks after this incident I tested negative for all STD’s 6 weeks. However, at the time of this incident I was taking antibiotics for an abscess and have had some occasional worry about the authenticity of the results. Through my own research I have learned lots of information about gono (got myself a little confused) but wanted a few last opinions so I can focus on my future without worry. I will appreciate all the help and advice to enable me to achieve this.
1) This stupid 40 second incident happened 1 and a half years ago. If I did infect my partner would she still have it? I have read that this infection self-cures after a period of time.
2) If she did still (albeit unlikely) would I have been reinfected over the last 18 months?
3) I also read on medhelp that without deepthroat my risk is near zero – ‘’To contract gono by oral would need a "deep throat" oral as any gono bacteria would be in the back of her throat not her mouth as the mouth contains digestive enzimes that are a hostile enviornment for these std,s’’
4) I have tested negative on four occasions since this mistake, taking this into account coupled with the science behind the testing - can I safely assume she is also free of infection 18 months on?
I apologise if my questions are irrational, I just want to be as safe as can be. As you know, it would be difficult asking her to get tested, I want to avoid ruining my relationship over this trivial mistake.
However, if you experts believe there is still some health risk I will have no choice but to consider telling my partner.
I look forward to any responses.
Thank you!

You tested six weeks post exposure and that is great! So don't worry anymore. I know its stressful when preparing to be a parent. Your definitely std free as long as you never had any other exposure. God bless to your young family. And if you tested negative your partner does not need additional testing. Well you can if you want to. Good luck!
1. Irregardless how long you already tested negative.
2. You can't infect her as you have contionuosly tested negative.
3. Actually deep throat would increase the risk for gonorrhea. So yes!
4. With all your negative result forget about this and move on.

Hi, thanks for coming back. I'm looking forward to starting a family and thanks for your kind words. I have not had any exposures at side of this one.
My main concern with the above is passing infection to my partner whilst curing myself on the minocycline tablets.
If you could just kindly take a quick look at questions and provide some information regarding points 1, 2, 3 & 4 in my post, I just want to make sure my assumptions / research is accurate so I can finally cross this off and get on with things.
Thanks Mike
