A member asked:
Took naat test for gonorrhea/chlamydia 30 days after low risk exposure and 1 day after single 875mg augmentin (amoxicillin and clavulanate) for sinus. test was negative. reliable?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, reliable: Augmentin (amoxicillin and clavulanate) could interfere with NAAT testing for either gonorrhea or chlamydia, but not this soon. It would take several days of treatment to have any effect. Your negative test is reliable for both gonorrhea and chlamydia.
