Transmission of Gonorrhea

This STD is spread through any kind of sexual contact - vaginal, oral, or anal. Ejaculation (when a man has an orgasm) doesn't have to happen for infection to occur. Gonorrhea can be passed from a pregnant woman to her baby during the birth process. This STD can also be spread to other parts of the body. A person can get an eye infection by touching infected sex organs (vagina, penis) and then touching the eyes.
