A member asked:

Hi would the antibiotic trimethoprim give a false negative result on a std/ uti urine test if taken in close proximity of testing ? specifically bacterial infection? i have had burning irritation on the tip of the penis but every test is clear?

It is not from the Trimethoprim causing the neg tests.But probably the burning etc is from another cause. PL see a Urologist
