I started taking amoxicillin friday;sinusitis; i have a test for chlamydia/gonhorrea monday. will antibiotic mess up my std results? stop amox or not?

Do not stop: Continue taking your antibiotics as prescribed. This will not "mess up" your testing for chlamydia / gonorrhea. Amoxicillin can treat these infections but should not alter a test after just a few days of antibiotics.
