Hi,

Heroin and its metabolites can easily be detected in the urine for 2 to 4 days. So there is a strong possibility that your fiance's drug test will be positive. He can try to take lots of water to hasten the excretion but I do not think it will solve his problem. Since heroin shows up in urine as morphine after a few hours, taking tramadol will not help him cover up his heroin intake as tramadol does not produce morphine as a metabolite.

Best wishes.
