Reliable test?
If I had protected anal sex on Friday 3/11 and got tested for gonorrhea/ chlyamedia on Tuesday-- would the test results be able to return a positive result if I got either?
Thanks doc!

Cure usually is complete within 24 hours, but to provide a margin of error, patients are generally advised to wait a week before resuming sex. If there are symptoms (penile discharge, with or without discomfort on urinating), they usually start to clear up in a couple of days and are completely gone by a week or so.
Okay, thanks!! How long after taking antibiotics are these type of things gone?

You could (and should) have asked this on your other thread. You don't need to have spent two posting fees.
The answer is yes, but maybe a little less reliable for chlamydia than gonorrhea. Testing for gonorrhea is accurate within 2 days. Four days usually is sufficient for chlamydia, but it could occasionally take 5-7 days.
