HI Testing windows
Hi, I did a online testing for chalymdia and Gnohreha after 11 days prior, the online was done through DrThom a uk based online service in association with gum clinics in uk. It did say should done before 2 weeks, is 11 days enough for a urine test to show these. I have done yesterday another test inlcluding syphilis which i know is a tad earlier at 4 weeks to make sure but waiting i needed reassurance that the 11 day test would be correct
the longer you wait, the less likely a false negative. not sure what they base their policies on.
just additional not so much for myself but for benefit of others, why do gum clinics often refer to this having to wait 2 weeks policy if its not infact needed, just seems strange and whether there is generally a need to wait 2 weeks
sorry, ill remember that in future if i need to use this valuable service. was unprotected oral. but thank you. just the 2 week statement made me think maybe its not that useful having had neg result.
it's most helpful when you just keep adding to your original post instead of making new ones. we ask this in our read before posting post in the "special announcements" tab on the top of the forum. thank you for your future cooperation with this.
this was protected sex, as we discussed in your previous post, really no reason for any std testing from this encounter.
11 days post encounter for gonorrhea and chlamydia is fine. we recommend waiting 1 week on average.

sorry if makes a difference was 10 days prior to getting the first negative test, just checked it says
The test is unlikely to detect chlamydia if you caught chlamydia in the last two weeks. Is this being super conseritive ?
