One Positive Test, Two Negative Tests Gonnorrhea

Hello,
I am in need of some opinions.

I went to my regular check up last week and asked to be checked for STDs. Even though I have been in a monogamous relationships for 4 years, I always feel it is better to be safe and get checked. I also asked my GYN to check me out for a yeast infection because I noticed a very minor pain the last time I had sex with my boyfriend. I have had frequent bladder infections and yeast infections for several years now, usually about 4-5 each year, so I figured I was simply getting another one. The nurse called me several days later to tell me I had tested positive for gonorrhea. I immediately freaked out assuming that my BF had cheated on me and that my relationship for 4 years was about to end. When I informed my boyfriend he was adamant about having not cheated and immediately wanted to get tested himself. We went to several different clinics but they were all closed. He was tested the next morning and I went to receive my antibiotic shot. An hour after my shot, I was still shaken up and thought maybe I should just get another test from a different facility to be safe because I figured there was no way the antibiotic would act so quickly as to completely remove any trace of the gonorrhoea within an hour after the shot.


Three days ago my boyfriend and I went together to pick up our results (we went to be tested at the same facility). We both tested negative. So in summary, I have had one positive and one negative test and he has had one negative test. Being that I have already received treatment, there is no way for me to be tested again. I do want to point out that since having treatment, my minor symptoms have gotten WORSE. I now have bladder pressure, pain when urinating, and itchiness. It has almost been a week since my treatment.


I just wanted to know what you guys think about all of this. I really do believe my first test was a false positive. My experience with my GYN has been frustrating, as I am a bit shocked that they just called me over the phone to tell me such important info. When I went to get treatment they wouldn't test me again because they didn't have time, and my doctor wouldn't come speak with me directly about how the handle everything and the implications of the shot and the diagnosis. The nurse simply gave me the shot and sent me on my way with not discussion.


I am just still so scared and nervous my BF cheated on me an is lying, but I also really trust the two negatives.

Thanks for the reply. Yeah, I kindof regret getting treated so immediately and just blindly trusting the first test. But yeah, I just keep thinking that if he tested negative there is very little room for me to assert that he gave it to me if I had it at all, unless his cleared up on its own. I think I will next be checked for BV, because I feel that new symptoms I am experiencing are a bit closer to that. I guess I am just worried that I am being naive to believe the two negatives and was seeing what other, unbiased people would think.

I think his negative is a good sign. Since both have medicated can't say much.
