I have been in for my yearly and std check ups every year. I went to the doctor to get my yearly and it came back that i had goneria and claumdia (i dont know how to spell them) I have had ONE sexual partner the whole time. He went in and got tested and he came back negative. What are the chances that my test was a false positive? I had the swab test done and he had the urine test done which is more accurate? This has tore up our relationship. He has not accussed me of cheating he swares the test was wrong but I dont know what to think at this point. Could someone p-lease help me

SabrinaAnn,

It is possible that he had a false negative. When doing the urine test, if the gentleman has urinated within the past two hours or if he cleaned the penis before urinating, the test may not pick up the infection.

Since there is concern that the test may not be correct, have another test done to be sure. Since you had a culture done (swab test), you may wish to have the urine test done this time. Just be sure to follow the instructions carefully.

Whenever there is doubt about the results of a test, the easiest thing to do is just repeat the test for confirmation.

Good luck.

Yeah, the penis is a dry environment. If he has no sores or other symptoms that can be swabbed, even herpes may go undetected.
