The CDC recommends a single dose of 500mg of ceftriaxone to be injected intramuscular. There are other alternatives treatments if needed but with the increasing concerns of drugs becoming resistance, treatment is becoming more difficult. A test of cure is needed with 7-14 days. Due to being possibly re-infected and it’s more common than not, both men and women should retest three months after treatment of initial infection. It’s important that if one becomes infected with this infection, to tell all recent partners, to help reducing the risk of reinfection. The only two ways to properly prevent any infections transmitted sexually is abstinence and to properly and consistently use latex condoms.]]> 2023-04-27 03:24:13 UTC https://padlet.com/hyfyd9npgy/ptjho7snol0cinvr/wish/2569721639
