Accuracy of a urine test for chalymidia and gonorrhea

by Carlie_R, Nov 06, 2009 11:00PM

Hi. I Recently was tested for chlamydia, Gonorrhea, yeast infection, trich, syphilis , etc etc. but my chlamydia and gonorrhea tests were done with a urine test. Everything came back negative but i am experiencing some burning sensations down there. Its been more than a month since i have had sex and I am wondering how accurate the urine test is for chlamydia and gonorrhea compared to a swab test?

Thanks

The urine tests are accurate. But I do not know why if they went in there for a sample to test for yeast and trich, didn't they go ahead and swab for chlamydia and gonorrhea. Although urine is accurate, swab is best. Is it possible you have a UTI?
