will antibiotics affect my gonorrhea test
I had a naat test for gonorrhea which was negative. I was currently on an antibiotic for another issue. will this render my test meaningless. And if so when should i retest.
I thought you had gonorrhea testing before you starting your antibiotics?

I may be off base but what i have read about naat testing is its so highly sensitive that false positives are more the norm especially in monitering after treatment as it picks up the dead bacteria. I would think if there was any theraputic effect by the antibiotic the dead bacteria would show up in the test
