Can you get gonorrhea from skin contact?

Gonorrhea is a sexually transmitted infection caused by the Neisseria gonorrhoeae bacterium and is primarily transmitted through direct sexual contact involving the penis, vagina, mouth, or rectum. While transmission may be possible through contact with infected bodily fluids through skin contact alone, this type of transmission is rather uncommon compared to direct interactions in the genital, mouth, or rectal areas. The primary modes of transmission remain sexual in nature.
