[Question #9367] Final Inquiry - Testing
33 months ago
|
Hello doctor, sorry to come back but I really feel I need to clarify a few thing about my testing and I hope you would answer me.
Ive read in some of your answers in this forums that antibiotics causing false negative results in the case of Chlamydia and Gonorrea is sometimes not so accurate because most of the times when the result is accurate is because the disease (if was at all present) was indeed cured.
But as I understand in your answers this is only true in cases for antibiotics that could cure the disease. In cases of people that take Cipro for example Ive seen that your comments suggests that this antibiotic could somehow disguised the disease and prolong positive results but is not strong enough to cure it. So this is why I feel I should share with you some medication to see if my tests were accurate.
I got 2 urethral swabs done. One 2 months after exposure and another one 4 months after exposure, this tests came back negative for this:
Candida albicans
Candida dubliniensis
Candida glabrata
Candida lusitaniae
Candida krusei
Candida parapsilosis
Candida tropicalis
C. trachomatis NLGV
C.trachomatis LGV
Herpes Simplex Virus 1
Herpes Simplex Virus 2
Haemophilus ducreyi
Mycoplasma genitalium
Mycoplasma hominis
Neisseria gonorrhoeae
Treponema pallidum
Trichomonas vaginalis
Ureaplasma urealyticum
Ureaplasma parvum
Cytomegalovirus
Varicela-Zoster Virus
Maybe 1 month before the first urethral swab (2 months post exposure) I took cefixime for almost 15 days. Could this affect reliability?
For my second urethral swab (4 months post exposure) my doctor did a DRE to expelled the seminal fluid (when he did it, white discharged came out of my penis, is this normal?) and after taking the test he prescribed Bactrim for prostatitis for 15 days.
I then took Azythromicin and Augmenting for a tonsilitis 27 days before perfoming a urine test for Chlamydia and Gonorrea. Could this have affected?

Sigh. You were warned that further questions may be deleted without a response yet you now return with 24 hours of the warning, over interpreting prior responses to other clients with a repetitive, anxiety driven question. Further, with each question you provide more data that should have been in your original question. I’ll provide a single BRIEF response and the thread will be closed.
There is no way that the antibiotics you’ve taken would mask an active STI infection. YOU NEED TO GIVE UP YOUR UNWARRANTED INSISTENCE THAT YOU HAVE AN STI. Clearly professional medical input is not getting through. I urge you to seek professional counseling to help you move forward. End of thread. EWH
