Prevention:
Prevention consists of following safer
sexual practices. Monogamous sexual relations with a known
disease-free partner are considered the ideal means of prevention.
The use of condoms provides
the best protection against gonorrhea
and other sexually-transmitted diseases. Treatment of all
sexual partners of a known infected person is essential to
prevent further spread or reinfection.
