about 2 months ago i recieved unprotected oral from a prostitute (stupid of me) about 5 and a half days later after contact i was tested for stds everything came back negative about 2 days after my tests i develop a dull achey (achy)strain
even up to this day , so i dealt with it for week and then went to my doctor and prescibed me ciprofloxacin 500mg one a day for 7 days and seemed to work or a bit but after it was done
the pain came back so i went back to the doctors and told her its still there so she up my dose of cipro xl 1000mg one a day for 14 days its working somewhat but if it don t work i have to go for a ultrasound cause i think she thinks it might be epididymitis
Blood test is not an effective means for testing in gonorrhea or chlamydia. It doesn't indicate if the infection is current or from past exposure. Urine testing is very accurate. Epididymitis is usually caused by untreated chlamydia or gonorrhea. Your doctor really should have tested you for them first before treating you. Now that you have been treated, it would be counter productive to test because you would most likely get a false result. Cipro is not the recommended treatment for chlamydia. And getting chlamydia from oral sex is not likely to happen.
Basically, your doctor needs to stop being lazy about getting you the proper testing before treating you any further.
For gonorrhea yes. Maybe not for chlamydia. Chlamydia is conclusive after 7 days. But once again. Getting chlamydia orally and passing it that way is possible but extremely rare. Once again, your doctor should perform the tests necessary to pinpoint what is causing your symptoms instead of just prescribing antibiotics for unknown infections.
okay thanks 2terrified, 1 last quick question after i am done the antibiotics how long after should i retest so the antibiotics clear out of my system and get more of an accurate test, and thx again
