Common Questions and Answers about Urine test gonorrhea

Good Day Doc,
I had a protected sex encounter with a sex worker about 3 weeks ago. At the third day of my exposure, i did an Urine Culture Test for Chlamydia and Gonorrhea. Test result is negative. However, these few days i am having some weird tickling feeling on my penis. Sometimes, i can feel some sharp tickling at the tip of my penis, especially when i am walking. But, I do not feel any pain during my urination.
My questions are:
- Is the urine test on the 3rd day conclusive?
Actually, it depends on the swab test used. The urine test is a NAAT type test and is very accurate with a very low false positive rate. But, if the urine collected is too dilute and not the first void of the day, the urine test has a high false negative rate. Based on this, the swab test ,specifically the Gen probe or a culture give the most dependable result (specificity and sensitivity). Take care.
The latest lab test slip had written chlamydia, gonorrhea, trich and had urine culture checked off. I just learned today when speaking with a lab representative that all chlamydia/gonorrhea tests done at this hospital are culture tests. I read that the culture tests are not as sensitive as the non-culture NAAT tests and that most places have switched to NAAT test. Moreover, culture tests are harder to conduct sometimes causing lots of false negatives in inexperienced hands.
Thanks,
Today im at day 5 exactly, so ill test for both gonorrhea and chlamidya, no syntomps so far. , although every clinic I consult they say that accurate results will be after 7-10 days, but I will take it today trusting medhelp. Do you know anything about false positives or they are not common for gonorrhea and chlamidya?
In the country I stay the gonorrhea test is based on the sample of semen(or any kind of discharge if possible) or urine. I guess if people get gonorrhea genitaly, will not infected oral parts, and vice versa. I dont have any symptom in genitaly, so i m wondering if the semen or urine test can be accurate enough to indicate wheather i have gonarrhea orally?
I know in the U.S the gonorrhea test is mostly done by oral swab, is oral swab used to test wheather people get gonorrhea genitaly?
Testing for chlamydia/gonorrhea by blood does not mean you have a current infection. It only tells you if you had at one point in time developed antibodies for it. For accurate testing you need to be tested by swab or urine.
Both gonorrhea and chlamydia are detected in a urine test. They draw blood for a syphilis test and here are the tests used to diagnose genital herpes https://www.webmd.com/genital-herpes/genital-herpes-diagnosis#1. No sores is a good sign that herpes is not a factor for you.
I of course will demand to see written lab results from my fiancee just to be sure, but how long do you suppose that will take? They are doing a blood test on her for chlamydia and urine test for the gonorrhea.I wont know my confirmed results until Tuesday according to my doc (thats when he said he will call me).
Thanks!
This month has been pretty crazy for me. On the 9th of October I had unprotected sex with my boyfriend of 8 months, I am on birth control. The following Monday I felt as if I had a uti (I've had one before) from the sex which was pretty rough so I went to the hospital since the burning during urination was very hindering. At the hospital I took a urine test and they told me that there were definitely red and white blood cells in it which is a sign of uti.
Thank you so much.
dear doctor thanks just want to confirm the urine test done was ordinary urine test not specific urine test for gonorrhea and chlyamdia my doctor said if something will be wrong then he will order urine culture , also doctor i want to know what if my body has cleared the infection itself but i might have given it to my wife .
Ive also been to two diffrent urologist and and had multiple urine cultures and urine test all - as well. I have never had any problems like this ever and I find it hard to believe that all this just so happend to begin a few days after this experience. I am married and have never done anything like this before, once the pain stoped the first time and I all my test were negative I resumed normal activities with my wife, but now I am really conserned that It has returned... Im at a loss...
I had a Chlamydia and Gonorrhea urine test 11 days post possible exposure. The test was done by Nucleic Acid Amplification. My urine was also in my bladder for an hour and I only sampled the begining part of my stream per the test collecter. I was negative for both.
Is this an accurate test and would you consider it conclusive?
I never had any symtoms and feel fine but I want to be sure that these tests are accurate.
If your doc tested you for chlamydia with a swab or urine test, you were also tested for gonorrhea. If you weren't tested with a swab or urine, why not just go get tested again? You'd need antibiotics for that. You also can't rely on whether or not your bf has symptoms.
This is not something you want to ignore and hope it gets better. I've never heard of one case that clears up on its own, and it can spread and cause arthritis like pain.
My girlfriend and I started in a relationship about 10-11 months ago and right away I heard that someone I had been with about 3 or 4 years ago had gonorrhea (I was never contacted by a health official about it) it was just something I had heard, so I got tested for chlamydia and gonorrhea and it came up negative(urine test), also I have never had any symptoms that I know of. This got me worried for about six months or so and I got other std testing done that also showed up negative.
I didn’t pay attention to the discharge then but only 1,5 months later had a chlamydia urine test which came back negative. I don’t know exactly which kind urine test was done but assume it to be one of the modern ones. My negative test was 1,5 months ago and now I am wondering whether I should still have a new test done.
1. How reliable are urine tests for men? I didn’t void for an hour before the test but “filled up” the cup a bit more than was instructed.
