Can you have sex the night before your test? I read it helps with neg test but if its a false neg thats not good.

Thanks for the input.  I generally agree on no sex before a vaginal exam. Just wanted others opinions.

I wouldn't. If you are positive it's really important to know that so you can be treated so you and baby are safe. The general rule is nothing in the vagina for 48 hours before a vaginal exam or any sort of testing in that area like a pap smear or cervical swab.
