Although there are some data that its possible to get gonorrhea in the throat from deep kissing, this is not the easiest or most common way to get gonorrhea in the throat. Usually people get gonorrhea in the throat from giving a blow job (i.e. performing oral sex on a penis) to a person who has gonorrhea in their penis.  You could have gotten gonorrhea in your penis either by getting a blow job from him (if he had gonorrhea in his throat) OR from topping him without a condom (if he had gonorrhea in his butt).  Gonorrhea in the throat and butt are almost always asymptomatic, so your partner probably didn't know he had it, and it’s possible he had it for a while. That's why it’s so important to make sure you are getting checked for STIs in the throat and butt, not just with a urine (pee) test.  Gonorrhea is completely curable. Glad you took care of yourself by getting tested and treated. People with gonorrhea should make sure recent partners get treated and try to get a repeat check-up 3 months after diagnosis.  In addition, sexually active gay men should be screened for STIs and HIV every 3 months.
