It is extremely important for individuals who test positive for gonorrhea or chlamydia to wait a complete week before having sex. You need to give the medication time to work and to completely get rid of the infection. So unfortunately, yes, it is possible that you may have transmitted it to your sexual partner. Your partner should be tested and treated just in case. Contact the medical facility that treated you and let them know what happened.  They will want to schedule an appointment for your partner so that he or she can be tested and possibly presumptively treated. If you live near one of our offices, you can call us for an STD testing appointment for your partner, and it will be completely free and confidential. When you make the appointment, specify that your partner may have contracted gonorrhea due to contact with someone who was infected. Good luck!
