negative test, conclusive?

Hello everyone,

I just got my results back from the lab on gonorrhea and chlamydya, I had some questions to follow up please,

1) I took urine test at 5 days was that enough?
2) what percentage of chance of being accurate at this time 90%?
3) I didn't really have syntoms but I think I got some pretty xum today, it was a clear sticky discharge like pre cum looms, would this be something to worry about?
4) should I re test?
5) I held my urine for an hour exactly, could I have foborrhea or chlamydya and not show in the test?

Thanks!!

I had pretty much the same exposure as karimb, mutual masturbation involving vaginal fluid from a prostitute, I haven't had sex with my wife because I'm afraid of giving her something, what should I do!?!?

I would not anticipate any symptoms from Gono or chlamydia after this much time has passed and with negative test results.  Again, not sure of your overall risk without you describing your exposure so I'm only speaking to Gono and Chlamydia.  I hope this helps you move forward.

you can feel confident your test are accurate after 5 days.  NAAT test are highly sensitive and can detect Gono and Chlamydia after 5 days.  I would not worry about further testing unless you start having symptoms.

That's what they girls did, even frottage is been known as no risk and that's why I got curious when you said there was a low risk,

masturbation with vaginal fluid doesn't carry a risk for Gono or Chlamydia.

I got a handjob with vaginal fluid, I don't know if I can trust my test 100% or re test before sex with wife? There is no more discharge, it was pre cum I believe.

You do not mention your exposure, but if you're symptom free after 17 days, you're most likely home free with chlamydia and gonorrhea.  Symptoms typically appear within 3-14 days for these infections.  

As far as other STD's I cannot guess without knowing your exposure.

Its been 17 days after the incident, can I expect syntoms now? Do I have to re test before having sex with my wife?

Sounds like this was a urine test done with NAAT.  If so, these are highly sensitive and you can believe the results.  

1)  5 days is enough time to be accurate for Gonno and Chlamydia
2)  You can be sure the test is accurate
3)  This doesn't sound like an issue.  If you continue to have discharge throughout the day then it's an issue, but an isolated incidence doesn't mean anything.
4)  No need to retest unless you start having symptoms
5)  urination 1 hour prior to test is fine, the test is still accurate.
