A member asked:
I have been in doxycycline for 4 days and tested negative for trich, gonorhea, and chlamydia. would the antibiotic interfere with results?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
The tests rely mostly on the presence of the genetic material of the organism, not whether they are alive, for trich, the dead parasite on an exam wet mount is just as positive if it were alive. I wouldn't worry about interference early in treatment.
