Women diagnosed with a gonorrheal infection should also be treated for which other infection?

Trichomoniasis
Chlamydia
Candidiasis
Syphilis

The correct answer is: Chlamydia

Gonorrheal infections are commonly associated with other sexually transmitted infections, the most notable being chlamydia. This is due to the fact that these infections often co-occur; studies show that a significant percentage of individuals with a gonorrheal infection may also be infected with chlamydia. It is standard medical practice to screen and treat for chlamydia simultaneously when a patient is diagnosed with gonorrhea to ensure comprehensive care and to prevent complications that can arise from untreated infections, such as pelvic inflammatory disease, increased risk of HIV transmission, and fertility issues. Chlamydia is caused by a different bacterium than gonorrhea, but the similarities in their transmission and the potential for concurrent infections make this co-treatment essential for effective management of these STIs.
