Common Questions and Answers about Minocycline for gonorrhea

The testing came back yesterday and I was positive for urine Gonorrhea, negative for oral, rectal, and HIV. Shypillis was still pending.
Last Saturday 24 hours after I was injected with antibiotics and taken large pills I had protected vaginal sex, and she performed brief oral sex on me with no ejaculation with same partner who is still on Minocycline. This was stupid but I thought I was clear with Minocycline.
Hi - Minocycline may give you a false negative on an STD test for gonorrhea and chlamydia. (Any antibiotic would.)
Depending on the dose, it may cure gonorrhea, though there is some resistance to it now with certain strains of gonorrhea. It MAY prevent you from getting it, but the studies done that showed it would are quite old, and were done before resistance.
All that said, oral sex is lower risk, even for men who have sex with men.
I have been on Minocycline for acne for well over a year. Usually I take 50mg twice a day, although for the last month have been on 75mg twice a day. If by some freak chance I had rectally contracted Gonorrhea or Chlamydia, would this antibiotic take care of it?
I just returned from long weekend away and discovered I had all the symptoms of gonorrhea. I called around and NO place was open on Saturday. I was with a potential sexual partner and panicked. I discovered a bottle of Minocycline 100 MG tablets. I took two pills Saturday and Sunday, one on Monday and Tuesday. The symptoms discharge and painful urination are gone. I am now back in the city with access to health facilities. Should I go and be tested ? Should I continue the Minocycline ?
The man was mid to late 30s, no marks on his body or penis, had been tested 8 months ago, and had one partner other than me since then who was a close friend. I haven't had any symptoms since then, but I'm still worried. Personally, I feel my risk level is low but it doesn't hurt to check.
1.) I was told that a urine test would help detect oral chlamydia and gonorrhea as after the two week mark it would have entered my blood stream. Is this true?
2.
And even if you had nonchlamydial, nongonococcal urethritis (NGU), the reply would be the same. Your doctor treated you for both chlamydia (or NGU) and for gonorrhea (the Suprax).
For 2 reasons, there was no risk of transmittting chlamydia (or gonorrhea or the other bacteria that cause NGU) to your girlfriend, for two reasons. First, your infection probably was effectively cured -- at least with no ability to transmit it -- within 24 hours of taking the azithromcycin.
Has anyone ever successfully used antibiotics (minocycline, etc.) for Psoriatic Arthritis? Please share.
After another 2-3 days without the symptoms getting much better I went to another clinic for a culture. Got tested for gonorrhea, chlamydia and mycoplasma. Three days later culture was ALL NEGATIVE. Kept taking Minocycline during the wait and by this time my symptoms were mostly gone... EXCEPT a mild discomfort in the perineum...
Minocycline is one of the listed drugs that cause vitamin B12 malabsorption. Minocycline also has anti-thyroid effects.
Long term treatment with minocycline (at least 100 mg/day) can cause hyperpigmentation of the skin, nails, bones, thyroid, teeth, palate, eye, heart valves. Thyroid cancer is frequently found with black thyroid syndrome (macroscopic black discolouration of the thyroid gland).
It's great news that you are doing well on your treatment!
I don't recall anyone posting here about minocycline, but then my memory's not what it used to be, ha.
Also not familiar with the Sunnybrook test --
Sorry not to be more useful! Hope you continue to improve.
PS If you're up for some heavy reading, you might try the ilads [dot] org website, the 'about lyme' tab, and read Dr Burrascano's treatment guidelines.
I took minocycline with rifampin for my Bart's. I had no problems with it.
I was prescribed minocycline for my acne on the 21st of December and started taking it that day, found out on the 27th of January that I am pregnant with my first baby and I am driving myself crazy with worry! Everything I've read is telling me that minocycline is extremely bad to take while pregnant or becoming pregnant.

I am not aware of any information that suggests that minocycline, or for that matter, any other antibiotic acts to either increase risk for HIV acquisition or would modify the performance of tests for HIV. Current tests for HIV look for antibodies. Antibody production in response to infection is not changed by antibiotics, menses or any of the other factors. The results of HIV antibody tests are to be believe.
So quick background:
Ever since I sucked on my lips while concentrating last August I've had problems. For months it was just little zit looking things on my lipline with redness and flakes, only one to three at a time. After unsuccessful visits to urgent care, a 10 day cycle of anti biotics that didn't work, I was somewhat able to manage it.
Then one Saturday morning I got sunburnt on my face. The next day the bumps were back.

ve read on here that a person taking PEP should test after 3 months of being off PEP to obtain a conclusive result. I took minocycline for 4 months after possible exposure. Then got tested 3 and a half weeks later (around 5 months). Negative result. The test was a rapid antibody test. Can someone please weigh in and tell me could minocycline possibly be used as a PEP drug for HIV? And if so, should I be worried about my status? Should I test again?
I have acne all over the back of my head and on my back it hurts to touch in some spots and to dry my hair.
