Ispossible to false negative test chlamydia after treatment? tested positive, received treatment but retest 2 wks after b/c i felt i still had symptom

May be healing: The burning and some drip can persist for a few weeks after the microbes are gone. The testing also probably isn't altogether reliable. Yet another possibility is eating spicy stuff, especially those little peppers -- these can mimic chlamydial urethritis
