Positive for Gonorrhea???
This is so bizarre and I really need answers.
The last time I had sex was June 2007-January 2008 and during that time we had sex twice. I had a swab done October 2007 and March 2008 to test for Gonorrhea both came back negative. I recently was with someone starting March of 2010. We had sex around 8 times and i was fine no symptoms other then bleeding during and after sex. I have stage IV Endometriosis and had surgery June 2007 and have been on Lupron and Marvelon 21 continuously since and have not gotten a period except breakthrough bleeding 3 times a year.
The new guy was tested in January 2010 and he was negative. Well one day I am by myself as embarrassing as this is and was masturbating with a plastic object that I washed prior to using. Something I have never done before. Well I was cramping and in pain the next day and went in to get a swab done April 29th at a walk in, I also had an appointment with my regular gp Tues May 4th by that time I was in so much pain and bleeding like I was miscarrying. I didnt have a fever, no itching, no burning just felt like I was going to pass out.
Anyhow I had to call the walk in to get my results from the lab and I tested positive for Gonorrhea!! How is that possible? My partner got tested the next day and just got his results back and they were negative. This makes no sense whatsoever.
Can masturbation trigger asymptomatic Gonorrhea? Could I have had it all this time? How could I have tested Negative twice and have it? I heard that taking the pill could harbor the bacteria, could that have effected my negative results? At the time I was tested for both two years ago I had bacterial Vaginosis and chronic Yeast infections from the first guy, could those effect the results?
I really need answers as this is so messed up.

Swab is highly accurate...but it does have a random false positive.
I have to disagree with Healthadvisory a little bit... years of having gonnorhea is not impossible but on the unlikely side. But with having PID it does kind of fit. But since you had negative tests in the past, if was either a false positive or picked up from current bf and PID is no connection to the gonorrhea.

It is very odd but no one can tell me how this can happen. I asked the doctor if they had the right test report, and she said yes and because they did a vaginal swab there is no way that they could be wrong. I was in so much pain and after taking the antibiotics I still feel as if my stomach is swollen or inflamed. I had intestinal endometriosis and i am sure this has something to do with it but how could I have tested positive for Gono then?
You didn't get gono 2 years ago. Either it happened recently or it is not gono. You tested negative gono, you are gono free. I guarantee you if you had gono you would've known by now. However some woman with pid don't have symptoms right away but 2 years is a stretch, you should of had symptoms. I really can't tell you what it is, this seems odd.
It is Possibly, to get false std test. I have experienced this first hand after experiencing acute abdominal pain. I kept getting negative std test, (blood and urine for every thing , They tested for everything HIV gonn, clym, thyroid, blood cells, everything.) Finally found a good OBGYN, test came back negative. He performed a laproscopy to see what was going on, only to find a bad PID infection and hemm. cysts, which he believed stem from an old untreated std.My question is how can this be possible, Ive been consistency tested for std and treated. long story short it happens
Can't say what could cause a false positive but now you will not know if you had a false positive or not. You are never going to know when you got this or who you got it from.
I was also told because of my symptoms that I have PID as well. When I went in for my surgery 2007 they would have told me i had it then, but I didnt. I am sure I was given an antibiotic for the bacterial vaginosis or the Yeast infection because I couldnt get rid of it, but I am almost positive that was late 2007. I was given tons of meds and I am getting retested again in two weeks. He is getting retested this friday and he already took the meds as well.
What else could trigger a false positive?
What else could trigger a false positive?
No masterbation will not trigger it. Could you have had it all of the time...possible but with 2 negative tests highly unlikely. I have never heard of the pill being a factor in test results. Nothing should effect the results execpt for anti-biotics.
If you have not started treatment I would suggest retesting to see if you got a true result or a false positive. If you have a false positive then follow up with your Dr to explore symptoms more. If it was a confirmed positive then your new guy should get tested again and treated reguardless of test outcome.
