A member asked:
Why aren't oral/rectal tests of gonorrhea not included in standard std test? don't they have complications like genital gonorrhea?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
You ask/they do: The common screen for gonorrhea is done on a urine specimen. If you have concerns that you may have been exposed to oral or anal gonorrhea it is important for you to speak up. Physicians do not necessarily assume you practice oro-genital or rectal sex . Good practices require good shared communication, which is a 2 way process.

It depends on the STD. Cephalexin isn't normally used for STD treatment. It might cure gonorrhea or, less likely, interfere with a positive gonorrhea test. - does that mean my test result for Jan 2 and Jan 9 is accurate? I only had cephalexin 3days?
