A member asked:

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?

The delay would have no effect at all on reliability of the results. You can be confident you have neither gonorrhea nor chlamydia.

Lab report delays are most commonly due to poor reporting of results not of doing them late so -reliable.
