Answers
GPT 3.5
Gonorrhea can be transmitted through oral sexual contact when an infected person's genitalia or anal area comes into contact with the mouth or throat of their partner. This can happen during oral sex, including fellatio (oral stimulation of the penis) or cunnilingus (oral stimulation of the vagina).
Infections can occur when the bacteria Neisseria gonorrhoeae, which causes gonorrhea, is passed from an infected person to their partner through mucous membranes in the mouth and throat. This can happen even if the infected individual does not have any visible symptoms of gonorrhea.
It is important to note that practicing safe sex, including the use of condoms or dental dams during oral sex, can help prevent the transmission of gonorrhea and other sexually transmitted infections. Regular testing and treatment for gonorrhea are also important for preventing its spread.
