Oral testing for STD: If sexual exposure to STD's were strictly limited to oral contact, a negative test for chlamydia/gonorrhea should be reliable.

A member asked:

Should I get retested if I provided a midstream sample of my urine for PCR testing for chlamydia/gonorrhea. I got the results and it came back negative. But Im worried that it may not be reliable since its the first-pass that laboratories needed?

Urine sample for chlamydia/gonorrhea came back negative - although there was a delay for my results. Took 14-15 days to receive result, are results still reliable despite delay? I have only one clear/clean mutually exclusive sexual partner this year?
