STD Question - Gonorrhea

Gmanmail posted:

okay, i did a dumb thing and won't ruin a genuine public admission with a dumb a** excuse ... had a random unprotected sex encounter and got the clap ... got it diagnosed quickly and am on Doxy along with the shot (not sure what it was but it was specific for my problem) ... aside from being much more careful, and adamant about protection ... a few questions please: a) i presume this can be transmitted orally and anally correct? b) does it make the risk different whether you are "giving" or "receiving" oral or anal sex? c) now that i have been treated with the antibiotic pills and shot ... how quickly is the shot effective? A week? longer or shorter ... i know to take the pills until completed and presume upon completion cured? But i should be retested correct? i feel stupid for myself, don't you be stupid ... be monogomous and/or use protection everytime!
