Question 5 • AVA HS Health IC - 81

How is gonorrhea treated?

Answer
A
a quick surgical procedure to remove the affected tissues
B
a topical cream applied to the affected areas
C
a single antibiotic injection followed by oral antibiotics
D
a combination of daily medicines known as antiretroviral therapy (ART)

Explanation

Gonorrhea is treated with antibiotics, typically a ceftriaxone injection. Oral antibiotics may also be prescribed when another infection, such as chlamydia, has not been ruled out, so choice C is the closest match. Surgery, topical cream, and antiretroviral therapy do not treat gonorrhea.
