I had a molecular pcr urine test taken today i've been having a irritated urethra with random itch/pinch feelings is the reason for the pcr , my question is how accurate is it , and would it detect stds?

This test can detect the presence of gonorrhea,chlamydia, or trichomoniasis as well as many other bacteria. It delivers results in a day or less compared to 24-48 hours for conventional urine culture.
