A member asked:
Can there be a possible false negative result for chlamydia and gonorrhea endocervical swabs ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possible: There can be false-negative findings and the easiest way to prove this is to get retested. If you have been having unprotected sex and are symptomatic would also want to be tested for other stds, including hiv. Good luck.
