Gonorrhea Symptoms (Cont.)

Other Complications of Gonorrhea

In rare cases, untreated gonorrhea can spread through the blood to the joints, which can cause an inflammation of the joints, which is quite serious.
 
If you are infected with gonorrhea, your risk of getting HIV infection increases (HIV, the human immunodeficiency virus, causes AIDS). Therefore, it is extremely important to prevent yourself from getting gonorrhea or to get treated early if you are already infected with it.
