9 days after incident conclusive swab?

Hi I post the other day but I can't seem to comment I the post.
I had a swab taken 9 days after an incident, would this be conclusive?
On an exam the doctor said it looked liked thrush but I systems haven't gone even after an internal tablet and 2 by mouth.
My exposure was a male rubbing his penis against my vagina and entering me for a few seconds unprotected. The rest of the intercouse was protected.

First of all your risk was extremely low so i would say that your test is conclusive since you dont have any discharge or urethra irritations.

Yes swabs for those would be effective but also these std,s can get inside your urethra not just the vaginal opening so a swab of the inside of your urethra would be conclusive as well.

I've never had a swab of my uretha, only ever vagina. Even at the sexual health clinic. Without sounding stupid how do u swab a woman's uretha?
My original question was would a swab at 9 days be conclusive?

Swabs are not conclusive so often a urine and blood test are recommended but it depends what your testing for.

I'm talking about vaginal std for example chlymida and gonorrhoea.
I believe vaginal swabs are the most accurate for women?
