What statement by a client indicates a possible cause of recurrent gonorrhea infection?

The statement made by the client about not informing their boyfriend about the infection suggests that there may be a lack of communication regarding sexual health. This lack of communication could lead to reinfection, as if the boyfriend is unaware of the infection, he may not seek treatment. In gonorrhea cases, both partners need to be treated simultaneously to prevent the cycle of reinfection. When only one partner is treated, the untreated partner can transmit the infection back, which is common in cases of recurrent gonorrhea.

The other statements do not indicate a direct risk factor for recurrent infection. Consistent use of protection, completing medication as prescribed, and believing it to be a new infection do not highlight potential ongoing transmission issues or communication problems that could contribute to recurrent infections. Therefore, the statement about not informing the boyfriend stands out as a significant risk factor leading to recurrent gonorrhea.
