You have been cured. Undoubtedly the injection was ceftriaxone, probably in a dose of 500 mg. It reliably cures all sites of infection, including oral gonorrhea. It isn't true that there is no test for oral/throat gonorrhea. Such tests are done all the time. But in any case, there's no point in testing for it now; if you had it, it's gone now. All is well, no worries!

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?
Over the last year I have had mucus strings in urine. Heavier in the morning and fewer as the day progresses. Three NAAT urine tests show negative for gonorrhea and chlamidia. Any ideas on what could be causing this?
