I did a gohnorrea test as I ve been having discomfort, which my gp says is my pelvic floor muscles, one which you do at home, with a swab what you place in liquid and it turned purple, which means positive! How accurate are these tests? I ve been with my partner for 18 months, I have no reason to believe he has cheated, and I certainly have not.
Hello and welcome to HCM The test performed for gonorrhea is screening test only. Further confirmatory serological test is required to confirm the infection. The screening test can be false positive and false negative also. Thus, confirmatory is mandatory. Get further tests for confirmation.
Thanks and take care Dr Shailja P Wahal
