When Is The Right Time To Test For STD S?
I had unprotected sex with a girl I met at a wedding. The next day I noticed a tingling sensation that I may have thought was a burning sensation so two days later I went to the clinic and got a urine test done for chlamydia and was given 1 gram of Zithromax. Seemed to help for a couple of days. Then last night I masturbated and the tingling came back and continued today. It s been 11 days since the sexual encounter and 8 days since taking the Zithromax. The test came back as negative for chlamydia and gonnorhea. My questions could taking the test so soon have caused a false negative or what should I do now.
