Testing for STD

[STDScare333]

I was just informed that my girlfriend tested positive for gonorrhea/chlamydia.  She recommended me to get tested.  I am definitely going to get tested.  Is there a chance that I might get the results as negative.  If I do get tested and the results are negative do I have to get re-tested again after a few weeks just to be sure.  Is there a possibility or chance that i am negative.  Please help me.  I am scared and want to be certain.  If my tests are positive then I will get treated.   I am hoping for a negative result.  Thank you in advance.

Well, if you've been having unprotected sex this whole time, there is a good chance that you have it.

She tested positive for gonorrhea.  We have been together for 6 months and the last time we had sex was the weekend of Feb 14.  She informed me this week.

Oh and make sure you know which she tested positive for, and you will probably get treated when you test.

Did she have gonorrhea OR chlamydia?  I'd doubt she had both, but its possible.

How long have you all been together, and when was the last time you all had sex?

Both gonorrhea and chlamydia will show up on a urine or swab test within 5 days, so if its been longer than that since you had sex, you don't need to retest.

When you go, make sure you haven't urinated for at least an hour before going, and give them a first-stream urine sample, meaning just pee in the cup first, and fill it no more than 1/3 high (unless they tell you otherwise), and then pee the rest in the toilet.
