Posted on Mon, 13 Jul 2015
Question: My fiancé is on multiple medications from oxycontin (2 a day) and hydrocodone (4 a day) both our 10mg. He is also on flexeril an recently switched from morphine to oxycontin. Is it possible if I injest his semen regularly to test for hydromorphone? Low levels but still test for it.

Hello.

Welcome to Healthcare Magic.

I read carefully your query.

It is very very unlikely that swallowing his semen ,causes a positive test at you.This because the concentration of opiates in semen is very very low and after digestion ,the levels in you body are near 0 and of course not detectable in a urine test .
It is more likely that the positive result was a falls positive result due to taking Ciprofloxacin.
You may need to repeat the test after stopping the antibiotic.

Hope it helps.
Please feel free to ask for every question you might have.

Kind regards,

Could the confirmation test come back positive even if being on Cipro? I tested negative two days later with no traces of hydromorphone in my system. It was the last day of my antibiotics that I tested positive.

We no longer have sex because I have a severe UTI and we have been primarily having oral sex daily because of that. I just want to make sure because I am not taking anything outside of my medications.

Detailed Answer:
Hello.

The confirmatory test will be negative ,even if you are on Cipro because only the true substance can show a positive on a confirmation test.
A confirmation test is a secondary analysis performed on the same specimen using completely different technology than the initial method.
If the confirmatory test is positive ,then the test is a true positive.If you haven't used anything apart your meds,you have nothing to worry about.It will be negative.

Take care.
