A member asked:

Can chlamydia or ghonneria be missed in a sti swab if an antifungal cream was recently administered?

Dr. Hunter Handsfield answered

Specializes in Infectious Disease

Probably not: If you used the antifungal cream immediately before testing (a few minutes), it might interfere. But any longer than that shouldn't make any difference. Your gonorrhea/chlamydia test should be valid.
