if you have gonorrhea and you are on medication does it mean you have aids?

Answer 1

Gonorrhoea, is among the most common sexually-transmitted diseases in the world and is caused by Gram-negative bacterium Neisseria gonorrhoeae. White discharge in both men and women is associated with the disease contained semen. It can be treated and fully cured by heavy dosage of antibiotics.

Whereas AIDS an Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome is a collection of symptoms and infections in humans resulting from the specific damage to the immune system caused by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). The late stage of the condition leaves individuals prone to opportunistic infections and tumors. There is no known cure for this. HIV is transmitted through direct contact of a mucous membrane or the bloodstream with a bodily fluid containing HIV, such as blood, semen, vaginal fluid, preseminal fluid, and breast.

Gonorrhoea and AIDS have no relevance or connection, but a person can acquire both these diseases from different persons having this by frequent sexual contact with these patients.-

Answer 2

No. Gonorrhea is just a Sexually Transmitted Disease or for short; STD. Gonorrhea is a curable disease but it has to be treated as soon as the first symptoms appear. Do not delay and try to cure it yourself. It requires drugs and heeps of medication to completely remove the disease from your body. At this very moment, your body is infected with the disease. You might notice that it will disappear sometimes, but it will come back in greater amounts. Eventually the disease will cause worse infections than before. So before its too late, treat that infection right away.

Answer 3

It means you have to be tested for AIDS, because you get that the same way you get gonorrhea. If you got one, you could very well have the other.

Now, don't this chance again. Use a condom, EVERY time.

Answer 4

AIDS and gonorrhea are two seperate, unrelated diseases. Certainly, a person can have both at the same time. But one does not preclude the other.

Answer 5

No...gonorrhea and AIDS are totally separate diseases. But if you've got gonorrhea, you should probably get tested for AIDS also!

Answer 7

NO! who ever told you that.Please quit taking their advice.
You are more likely to have another std if you already have one..the reason being is because you were obviously having unprotected sex..If I were you I'd go see the doc. and get a complete check up blood test and all!!
Use a condom every time..Don't take chances like that! Not using a condom is like blind folding yourself and walking out into a busy street..and doing this over and over..what do you think will happen..yea I'll bet you'll get hit eventually..
If I were you I'd take this as a warning..this is treatable..the next thing might not be!!!
