Would taking amoxicillin alter std testing?

[lifesux101]

I took a test last thursday. A couple of wks before that I was on amoxicillin.

really no reason to repeat your testing. you had no symptoms and were just covering your bases and waited 2 months so it's not likely you really were infected anyways.

I'm so frustrated. Nobody told me this. You would think they would ask you about medication before taking the test.


Not to mention my teeth are still infected and I'll probably have to start back antibiotics once they take the teeth out.

Hi

I don't know if ***************** is banned.    
Re-read my last post.

What is NGU?

I'm past 6wks. This encounter was June 5th. I took the test Aug 25th

I haven't had unprotected anything, so I was focused on the skin to skin things.

So if my test is negative, I will have to retake later?

I am saying that antibiotics could alter bacterial STD, tests.  

We recommend taking a gonorrhea, chlamydia and ngu test one month after you last took an antibiotic (to let it clear your body).

A syphilis test is conclusive at 6 weeks post exposure.

Finally a blood test for chlamydia, gonorrhea and NGU are useless.  You need to take a Urine STD test for those.

This is so weird. I was googling and came across this

This is my exact predicament. Even the same 2 stds that I was tested fore. I wonder if this means something. God, I'm scared.

I took them for tooth infection by the way, not for some std

[lifesux101]

I haven't taken them for at least a wk. Maybe 2 wks before the test. You're saying I shouldn't have taken the test?


They didn't ask me about taking them or any other medicine. It was a blood test by the way

Hello

Taking antibiotics will probably alter BACTERIAL STD testing.   (i.e., gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis)
