1. I guess if it did anything it would have cured it, if you had it
2. 6 weeks
3. Yes
Hi Vance,
I had same day testing done this morning – got my results in 3 hours and all negative. I have worked out that my event happened over 1 months ago (5 weeks ago 2 days to be exact).
A have a few questions that I would appreciate your expertise with (only because reading things on google has created some small concern):
1. My main worry was NGU / Gonorrhoea (albeit the low risk), are you sure my tetracycline treatment would not have influenced this result?
2. I here syphilis testing starts at 6 weeks, are my results conclusive in the 5th week?
3. I’ve had blood and NAAT testing, are they near 100% accuracy?
Thank you again
According to google lymecycline is the same as tetracycline. I believe this is sometimes used for std infections. I havent been taking this for std prevention because i wasnt aware its uses until i went on google.
Final questions vance.
1. Considering im taking a tetracycline can i assume negative test results on gonorrhea / clymidia tomorrow officially means negative?
2. How accurate are NAAT urine testing methods?
Thanks again, people like you are greatly appreciated.
Herpes and syphilis are 3 months and 6 weeks for testing. Gonorrhea, NGU and chlamydia would be conclusive.
Have not heard of that medication before but would assume it would have no effect, but check with a Dr.
I think i'll leave that and just get same day testing tomorrow. I have been taking lymecycline for a skin problem will this affect my tests tomorrow? Basically if i am negative tomorrow can i assume my results are accurate?
Like I said no specific numbers to give.
If you want find out how many people in your area have had gonorrhea, then cut that in 1/2 and then cut in 1/2 again. Then divide that by the population number. That will give you a very rough estimate.
I appreciate answering my questions Vance.
I haven't had symptoms but out of anxiety I will get tested tomorrow.
As a rough 'estimate' in %, any ideas what my chances of catches something based on my brief 30 second exposure? 0.01%, 0.1, 1%. 5% etc??
1) Probably not
2) No specific numbers
3) Need...no, would I if I were you...Yes because you have a gf. I would not be really concerned but just to cover all bases.
