A member asked:
I had an uti and was prescribed septra. 18 hours after taking my first dose i took an sti test, results negative. are these results reliable?

Probably so: Your STI results are almost certainly reliable. Septra isn't the best choice of antibiotic to treat STIs, but it may treat it anyway. Overall, highly likely the results are reliable.
