Health Nurse ~ I have been considering getting tested for STDs, but have just finished 11 days of 1200 mg per day of Clindamyacin (spelling???) for a totally unrelated infection. Should I bother?

Hi 2horny4mog
It depends on your situation.
If you are having symptoms that may be related to gonorrhea or chlamydia such as discharge from the penis, hurts when you pee etc. We would recommend getting tested straight away.
If you are having no symptoms and are not concerned about anything we would suggest that you wait until 4 weeks after you finish taking your antibiotics before getting tested for gonorrhea or chlamydia as the antibiotics may affect the test result.
Taking antibiotics will not affect blood tests for HIV, syphilis or hepatitis. You can get these at any time.
Let us know if you want us to expand on a topic. Remember if you would like to ask me a personal question just send me a PM.
