AAAGH! Girl go and get treated now, this minute without delay. What you have got is serious and can affect you for the rest of your life if you don;t get it cleared up now. Howe have you put up with this for 12 months? If you had sex with anyone else than you have infected them too . Gonorreah is a reportable disease, all people yopu have had sex with have to be contacted and treatred immediately. Confidentially remains in place for you and them
Forget the parents at this stage, you don't even have to involve them. Treatment is entirely confidential,
Gonorreah does not lead to HIV or aids unless your partner had that as well. But what you have is very serious just the same
Find the listing for the STD clinic and GO NOW!

Gonorrhea is not the same thing as HIV/AIDS, nor can gonorrhea lead to HIV/AIDS. They are separate STDs. However, both gonorrhea -and- HIV/AIDS can be contracted from sexual contact.
However, it is in your best interest for your own personal health and well being to see a doctor if you have -any- STD.

Gonorrhea is an infection caused by a bacteria (gonococcus). It is treatable by antibiotics that would have been prescribed when you were diagnosed. HIV/AIDS is caused by a virus, so one doesn't lead to the other. However, if you are infected by one STD then is is wise to be tested/checked out for all, because your risk of any other STD is elevated. GO TO YOUR DOCTOR.

yes you should go to the local quack doctor in Makati or Forbes Park they are very discrete..as far as gonorrhea leading to aids or hiv?? a women or man needs these like a fish needs a bicycle!
you have nothing to be ashamed of your parents have been through this and understand you more then your innocent years portray..you are just coming out of your shell. explore the word and seize the moment>>>your children will be lucky to have you for a parent

The longer you are infected with a STD the more likely it will progress to PID (pelvic inflammatory disease). If this happens you will most likely need an inpatient hosptialization to clear it up using IV antibiotics. PID often leads to an inability to have children and pelvic pain for the rest of your life due to scarring and adhesions. What in the world are you thinking for the past year? Denial of the existance of a problem is like covering your eyes and thinking something disappears just because you can't see it anymore. Uncover your eyes, grow up, and get moving to your healthcare providers office.

Only if the person you got it from or someone else you had sex with has hiv too. There should be some kind of clinic you can go to yourself and they will help you. Look in the phone book. You have to go to the Dr.

a doctor will never tell your parents. If your worried about that go to plain parenthood or any other clink. There are STD's if left untreated can case blindness, leave you sterile or make you go crazy if the infection goes to the brain. Seek treatment ASAP.

gonorrhea itself does not transpire aids or hiv. but if you contracted the hiv virus then its already in you, but gonorrhea wont form into aids.
