Tested for gonorrhea too soon?
Hello,
I had an unprotected sexual encounter on a Friday. Two days later I noticed an itching feeling in my urethra with occasional pain. Urinating was mostly non painful, but sometimes after urinating I felt pain. I decided to get tested on Tuesday, 4 days after the unsafe act. I was given a urine test, and on Saturday I received a call that my test results were negative. However in the period of time since taking the test I feel my symptoms worsened and I am concerned I was tested too soon. Is this a reasonable fear to have, or are my test results accurate? Thanks
