Can one get gonorrhea without have sex, like from a toilet or something of the sort?


Can one get gonorrhea without have sex, like from a toilet or something of the sort?

It is highly unlikely. The one possibility would be non-sexual genital contact, like sleeping nude with an infected person and your genitalia come in direct contact with the bacteria (likely from oozing pus).

No. Remember that STDs are only transmitted through sexual contact with someone who's infected. You have a better chance of being struck by lighting than to pick up an STD from a toilet seat. For more STD information, call the Los Angeles Sexually Transmitted Disease Hotline at 1-800-758-0880.

No. Gonorrhea requires contact with mucus membranes, either the throat, the vagina or the rectum to transfer from one person to another. Oh, wait, you can also do a blood transfer. So, if you're shooting up with someone and sharing a rig without cleaning it, then, yeah, it's a possibility. But gonorrhea doesn't live well on a surface exposed to air. So, no, not a toilet seat or something innocuous like that.
