A member asked:
Is it possible to have a false positive gonorrea result. i just tested positive. i don't sleep around . we use condoms.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes & No: False positive happens when specimens sent to the lab are mislabeled with the wrong patient. Positive results can happen even with condoms if there is leakage of fluid due to microscopic rupture of the material used for the type of condom.
