Trich and symptoms gone

Hello, I test negative for C&G. Two Questions:

1. Can you get urine results in less then 24 hours from quest diagnostics? I wen through a private website that gave me the test at a quest diagnostic facility

2. I had symptoms of needing to urinate all of the time and sensitivity after ejaculation. No morning symptoms at all. It only started as the day went on (i worry i have placebo effect). Anyway, my symptoms went a way exactly 2 days after i started on doxicycline and they never came back. Should I worry if I have Trichomonas because I read Trich only stays around a few weeks. Do I need to get tested for Trich?

3. I had unprotected sex after I took my doxicycline on the 8th day of the dosage. The CDC says you can have unprotected sex after a 7 day treatment. Am I still contagious even after me not having symptoms for 6 days?

Thanks,

Great, so last one.

1. I either had a placebo effect from paranoia or I had some type of infection that the 7 day doxicyline cured and if I had Trich i would have discharge?

Sorry about being anal. This will be it!

Hi there,
We kinda assumed you were male.

1) You probably don't need to test again.   Its up to you to have unprotected sex.
2) Yes (however, remember some people don't show symptoms)
3)  I wouldn't know, its hard to say.  
4) no
5) If untreated trich symtoms could stay around for 2 or more weeks

I know you are busy and I really do appreciate this free service. So, I will ask a short concise question to be clear.

1.You are saying that I don't need to worry about getting tested and that I can have unprotected sex after 7 days of doxicycline?

2.In addition, you think if I had Trich symptoms i would have discharge?

3.Do you think it was NGU if I test negative for C&G?

4. urge to urninate isn't enough for Trich symptoms?

5.Would trich symptoms stay around longer than 2 weeks?

Thanks, i know this is redundnat. I just know getting diagnosed for Trich is much harder and I would like to be done with this.

Thanks and BTW I am a Male
