A member asked:
Got tested for chlamydia, took antibiotic a day before. does that affect test results after only 18 hours?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
What kind of test?: A DNA test would not be affected. If it was a culture, antibiotic treatment may produce a false negative. For good health - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, low fat milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. Practice safe sex.
