Test strips that change color to reveal the amount of a substance in a liquid (for example, sugar in urine, ketones in urine, certain meds/drugs in urine, high-school "litmus paper" tests for the amount of acid or base), give a general indication of how much of that substance is present in the liquid.
The tests that give an exact number (such as a modern blood sugar meter) gives a more precise indication.

Success depends on the epithelialization process finishing before wound contraction significantly reduces the urethral lumen caliber. The incision is made under direct vision at the 12 o'clock position with a urethrotome.
The result was negative, but I am very afraid that the rapid test I took at the public health STD clinic in NYC was reused.

Are these devices used and cleaned? I am very afraid doctor and I would really love to believe that this is all in my head.

Don't worry about the silly test. If it's a urine test the medications will show up in your urine, especially the methadone. It has a very long half life.
