Can I have gonorrheic pharyngitis?
A day after touching my partner's member with my tongue, it lasted maybe two seconds and my throat started to hurt slightly, which later turned into pharyngitis and then acute tonsillitis. I read that there is such a thing as gopheritis and despite the fact that my partner has never had any form of sex, I started to panic. Is there any chance that this is due to this? I will also have a throat swab for streptococci.

It is quite unlikely that the symptoms you are experiencing are due to gonorrhea pharyngitis.
Gonorrhea infection occurs as a result of sexual contact (e.g. oral-genital). In the event that the partner has not engaged in any form of sexual activity, it is very unlikely that they are carriers of the disease. So far, no other way of contracting gonorrhea has been indicated than direct sexual contact.
The incubation and infectivity period for gonorrhea infection ranges from a few days to 2 weeks. Most often, the infection is asymptomatic. Unusual symptoms of gonorrhea pharyngitis include, m.in sore throat that worsens when swallowing, redness and swelling of the palatal arches and posterior pharyngeal wall, sometimes slightly increased body temperature and swollen lymph nodes. The timing of the onset of symptoms indicates a fortuitous coincidence with the touching of the tongue of the partner's member.
You can rule out a possible gonorrhea infection by taking an appropriate throat swab. There are home tests available in pharmacies that allow you to detect gonorrhea yourself (after adding to your cart, you can compare their prices in online pharmacies and order them for home delivery or pickup at the pharmacy of your choice), such as:
