Early treatment is simple and effective and involves a single dose of antibiotics. This is followed by a second test a month later to make sure the infection has gone. If complications occur another treatment may be needed.
It's important not to have unprotected vaginal, oral or anal sex until treatment is completed and the infection has cleared up.
Once gonorrhoea is successfully treated it won't come back unless a new infection is picked up. To avoid re-infection, any sexual partners should be treated too.
