How do you contract gonorrhoea?

Dr Rosemary Leonard

It is passed on if you have sex with an infected person. This can be due to vaginal, anal or oral sex. It can therefore be passed during sex between men and women or sex between men and men. In men, the infection usually affects the urethra (the tube between the bladder and the end of the penis) but can cause infection of the mouth or anus of both sexes. Vaginal liquid can be a source of infection so in theory it could be passed on during sex between women but this is very uncommon.
