Having unprotected sex with someone who has a past sexual history that is unknown is the initial risk factor for Gonorrhea. The infection is passed on from one individual to another through oral, vaginal or anal sexual affairs.
Here are the key factors to note with regard to Gonorrhea prevention:
• All individuals who are sexually active should use latex condoms consistently and appropriately to avoid getting gonorrhea, even if they are using another type of contraceptive.
• Avoid sexual contact with high risk sex partners.
• Treat infected sexual partners or have them tested prior to having sexual relations.
