Correct answer: C — Arrange test of cure according to BASHH timing

Test of cure is recommended for gonorrhoea, especially pharyngeal infection because eradication is less reliable and resistance surveillance matters. Symptom resolution does not prove microbiological cure. Partners require assessment and treatment irrespective of symptoms.
