You need a swab, blood test aren't reliable.

Sorry there isn't a blood test for gono.. you need to have a swab.

and I should have said that Blood test aren't as reliable for certain STDs such as Chlamydia.

There is a web site (heathtestdirect.com) that has an std test panel, blood test only, that test for Hep B, HIV, gonorrhea and chlamydia.  Seems for real but I read nothing about testing for rectal gonorrhea or chlamydia by blood.  I did a urine test for both but was told that would not show if the infection was rectal.
Looking for guidance.
thanks,

Worried I just realized you now have three different post, Please keep all future post here in this post.

Certain STDs should be done by blood test and some should be done in a different manner such as a urine or swab test.

Blood test should be done for: HSV1/2, HIV, Syphilis, hepatitis
Swabs should be done for: Active HSV sores, Chlamydia, Gono, Trich, NGU and of course other female (non-STD) problems such as yeast, and BV
Urine test should be done for: Chlamydia.

Here is a link for more testing info... If you think you have gono, chlamydia in the rectal you need to have your rectal swabed.

Thanks and sorry for the multi posting.
Can rectal gonorrhea be treated with Doxycyclin Hyclate 50 mg?

I think I've heard of doxy clearing the infection but it would be for a prescribed amount and I don't know what that is, if your going to try and self medicate... that is not a good idea...

cefixime Suprax
ceftriaxone Rocephin

Are suppose to be good treatments for gono... you need to see your doctor. it is not best to assume things, and if you take the doxy that could also effect any of your test results.
