Can Gonorrhea Infection Be Determined By Blood And Urinalysis Tests?

Posted on Sat, 5 Nov 2016

Question: So, I got my blood and urinalysis tests and everything seems negative including HIV 1/2, and Hep B and C including RPR Reflex test. I went to doctor with problem of peeing too much BUT I specifically requested a test for Gonorrhea and chlamydia but I don't see any of these listed under "Urinalysis with urine microscopy" part of the results. All I see is specific gravity, ph, proteinn. lucose, kxtoncs, urobiliogcn, bilirubin, blood, nitritc, leukocytcs, red blood and white blood cell which is all fine. I asked the doctor 3 times if I was clean of those STD'a and he told me all 3 times I was. But nowhere in the report mentions gonorreah or chylamadia so how can I be certain?

Brief Answer:
If not mentioned in the results, then there is no result for those tests.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thank you using HCM to post your query,
I read it carefully and I understand your concern.

I also saw the report.
All those (specific gravity, ph, proteinn. glucose, ketones, urobiliogen, bilirubin, blood, nitrites, leukocytcs, red blood and white blood cell) are part of the urine analysis and apparently you don't have a urinary tract infection.

You have also ruled out HIV and Syphilis.

It seems like you are right when you say that there is no test for Chlamydia and Gonorrhea presented in that report form. I don't see the report for Hep B and C also, so wondering maybe you will get a result for all of them in couple of days, because some labs may need more time to get processed.

You can be certain you haven't taken the results of Chlamydia and Gonorrhea, because if you had, you would have a form with clear written results for those tests.
Some labs will test your urine, some the blood, and some others will test the secretions taken from urethra.

So, unless you have another form not uploaded here for your tests results, or unless you are waiting for other results to come back from the Lab that you haven't taken yet, Otherwise I think those tests were not done.

Hope this is helpful.
Let me know if you need more clarifications. If no further queries, please close and rate the answer.

Hello,

Thanks for your help. I do have the reports for Hep B and C also which are both negative as well. Basically, I am negative for following;

Hep B
Hep C
HIV 1/2
Urinary Tract Infection
Syphilis

Does that mean I should get tested for Herpes, Chlamydia, and Gonorrhea?

Brief Answer:
You should get tested for Chlamydia and gonorrhea

Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX

Thank you for your follow-up question.

You should get tested for Chlamydia and gonorrhea.
Herpes testing is not done routinely, unless you have sores and pains, so if you have some signs that would indicate that. This is because we cannot treat herpes permanently if you have it, but just treat the symptoms when they appear, and give continuous treatment in case this symptoms appear very often.
You should also keep in mind that you should repeat the HIV, Hep B and C testing in 3 months and in 6 months, to consider complete the possibility of having them.

Regards,
Dr. Papaqako
