Had an STI a while ago, has my boyfriend caught it??

Posted , 4 users are following.

About a year ago, I had unprotected sex with 2 people (at different times) and I ended up contracting gonorrhea. I received treatment for it and was retested and all was well. During my treatment period I began seeing someone else and got fairly serious with him. However due to beibg unwell with flu and colds and other issues, we haven't actually had sex yet. We've been together for nearly 9 months now but he tends to keep getting cold sores. Is it possible that it's because of me having gonorrhea all those months ago?
