So I think I went out and got myself a case of gonorrhea. (Just what I always wanted!) What are my treatment options for getting this taken care of ASAP? I understand that it can generally be handled with a course of antibiotics... but how can I best go about getting them? I don't have a regular doctor right now -- I've just made an appointment with a new doctor for the end of the month, but I'd prefer to get on top of this before then (since leaving it unattended for more than two weeks seems like a bad idea). I'm a gay guy in NYC, so advice specific to that milieu would be superb, but in the name of creating a valuable reference thread I'd be interested to see information aimed at less specific contexts as well.

What's involved in getting a full STD screening? Where do you go? How much does it cost? Can it be done anonymously?

I have led a foolish life, and it's finally become neccessary to see if the damage is permanent. Is there anything else that somebody who has engaged in a lot of high-risk activities should have checked before proceeding on with life?
