Dear sir, Please refrain/avoid sex of any kind until you and your partner have a NEGATIVE test of cure ( repeat testing for chlamydia and gonorrhea 2 to 4 weeks after completing course of medication). Both/all persons need to test negative before engaging in serial activity to avoid infecting each other again.
