gonorrhea and oral sex
I recently tested positive for vaginal gonorrhea but negative for it in the throat or anus. I have been treated and am not engaging in any sexual activity but I was curious - if I tested negative for it in the throat/anus and my partner is negative is oral/anal sex ok?
Can you transmit the bacteria from a location if that location tested negative? I have tried to find answers to this but didn’t find anything.
Again, I’m not having any sex- this was more a curiosity thing because I’ve never dealt with this before.

Are you having sex with a partner you've had sex with previously? Have they been treated? You could get reinfected if they haven't been.
Anal, I'd avoid. While it's separate tracts, it's still pretty close. Oral would be okay, but make sure they have tested negative recently. You don't want to get reinfected and have to retreat.
Or just wait the 7 days and then use condoms for everything.
