A member asked:

If i had a gonorrhea or chlamydia then 6 days after i took my medication i took a test would i still come up positive?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

It might: It might turn up positive if the antibiotics given were ineffective due to bacterial resistance. That is why it is important to return for follow up testing.
