It adds that it is possible to buy a gonorrhoea test from a pharmacy to do yourself at home. However, these tests vary in accuracy, so it’s recommended that you go to your local sexual health service.
The health body says: “Both men and women can develop an infection in the rectum, throat or eyes by having unprotected anal or oral sex.
“If infected semen or vaginal fluid comes into contact with the eyes, you can also develop conjunctivitis.
“Infection in the rectum can cause discomfort, pain or discharge. Infection in the eyes can cause irritation, pain, swelling and discharge, and infection in the throat usually causes no symptoms.”
