Transmission

The infection is unfortunately very easy to spread, not only via vaginal or anal sex, but also during oral sex (fellatio or "blow jobs" and cunninlingus or “going down”). A risk primarily exists whenever mucous membranes come into direct contact with one another.

The Gonococci bacteria cannot live for long away from human mucous membranes. An infection via toilets, towels or anything similar is therefore extremely unlikely.
