Question 1

how accurate are oral swab gonorrhea tests? if i tested negative 5 times in a month, should i consider this conclusive?

Accepted Answer

: %times! Why?. The test done properly is very accurate.

Question 2

possible gonorrhea exposure on sunday. tested for gonnorhea today on tuesday morning. how accurate will this result be if negative?followup test thurs

Accepted Answer

Maybe too early: Two days is early; a negative result won't prove you weren't infected. If you were definitely exposed (i.e. your partner has gonorrhea for sure) you should be treated now; don't wait for a positive test. If it's just a suspicion (e.g. unprotected sex with a new partner) retesting makes sense. You also need to test for chlamydia, and blood tests for syphilis and HIV in a few weeks. Good luck!

Accepted Answer

Re take if...: Re take  the testing if you were re-exposed to someone again who is at risk or you were recently treated for one of the above STD's and a negative result is in order to know that the treatment was effective. HIV should be retested again 6 months after the last negative test or  at risk exposure to ensure negativity.
