description Sexually transmitted diseases can be transmitted through sexual activity. Actors of free sexual activity are usually done by commercial sex workers. The highest number of sexually transmitted diseases is caused by gonorrhea infection. Gonorrhea can be transmitted to others through sexual relations with gonorrhea sufferers and can infect the lining of the urethra, cervix (cervix), rectum, throat or the white part of the eye (conjunctiva). This study aims to determine the level of knowledge of Commercial Sex Workers about the transmission of gonorrhea infections in Tebing Tinggi in 2014. This study used a descriptive research design with a cross-sectional approach. The population in this study was 68 people. Sampling was carried out using 48 accidental sampling. Analysis of the data used is univariate. From the results of the research, it was found that the knowledge of commercial sex workers was mostly at the level of bad knowledge, namely 39.6%. Demographic characteristics based on age mostly <20 years (47.9%), education level at the last elementary school (45.8%), marital status not married (54.2%), length as a CSW <6 months (47.9%) and most respondents did not use condoms (62.5%). The poor level of knowledge of CSWs that can lead to more widespread transmission of gonorrhea infections. So, it is expected that the local health office and social services to provide health education and counseling on the transmission of gonorrhea infection can reduce the incidence of gonorrhea infection
