False negative?

Would being on Cipro cause a false negative for G/C on Gen-probe aptima urine test? Advised nurse at PP (prior to test) and said that it would not, and that my results are accurate... But I am still concerned.

Also, my "symptoms" (actual or anxiety driven) were still present throughout the taking of the Cipro, and were also present the day of testing - and remained through the receipt of the negative results a week later.

This is all related to what I have been told is a low to no risk encounter, but still want to trust the tests.
