What if Neisseria Gonorrhoeae - Throat Results Are High?

A positive test indicates an active gonorrhea infection.

Gonorrhea can be associated with longer-term health problems when it remains untreated. Gonorrhea infections can often be treated effectively with antibiotics. Treatment is commonly described as an injection of the antibiotic ceftriaxone into the buttocks, or azithromycin taken orally, and symptoms often improve quickly afterwards.

Obtaining treatment: Treatment is available from a GP or a local GUM clinic. Up-to-date information is available from the National Sexual Health Helpline, and calls are treated sensitively and in strict confidence. The Sexual Health Helpline is open 9am–8pm, Monday–Friday. Call free on 0300 123 7123.

Things to know:

  • A current sexual partner is often treated for gonorrhea regardless of screening result.
  • Sexual contact is typically avoided until treatment has been completed by partners.
  • Previous sexual partners over the last 6 months are commonly informed about the diagnosis; GUM clinics can assist with partner notification.

Further testing:

  • People with a confirmed gonorrhea diagnosis are commonly screened for other sexually transmitted infections (STIs) at least one week after completing treatment.
  • Re-testing within 3 months of completing treatment may be used to check that reinfection has not occurred, including when symptoms are not present; this is often highlighted as particularly important for those aged 25 and under.

It has not been possible to provide an all-clear result today. Further details on how testing was carried out are available on request.
