It is good that the test results are negative.

Smear examination of discharge, is done if you have any urethral discharge or you have any throat Infection(Throat swab is taken). Otherwise you need not worry.
You can get IgG Antibodies tests for chlamydia and gonorrhea if suspected by your doctor . Otherwise not needed.
