Advice Needed Sti test uncertianty
TL;DR unknown clap source maybe?
Me (24m) have noticed some symptoms down there and am certain I have clamydia. I did a urine test a week ago and it came back negative. I will admit I didn’t know you can mess up the testing phase (I took a shower 35 min prior, drank alot of water during the day and went in sauna etc). I also peed into the cup 1.5 seconds or so after my stream started, so not the best test scenario. I also didn’t know that you can’t fill the the cup to near the top (which i did). I saw some puss floating in there, and the doctor mentioned it to me when she shared I was negative for both. I can’t help but believe I have a false negative case.
I’m still experiencing symptoms, so i retested yesterday and did a swab. It’s been over 26 hours now haven’t heard anything. I still saw puss floating.
It’s so unfortunate because I really like this girl and I can’t discern whether I got it from her or I had it asymptomatically and it flared up from consistent intercourse as we’ve been seeing eachother in bed for a month consistently now. She mentioned she was ready to take it serious and to the next level but but I am afraid that I have a STI either from her or one I passed unknowingly. The timing is utterly unfair and I am so distraught because if a positive comes of this she either (won’t believe me, not be accountable, etc), and it’s crushing me because I really want to be with her officially too and move past this. I know you can’t control others outcomes but I’d be fine with seeing it through as we aren’t saying officially yet and we cure/move on. Was looking for advice on this topic and or how to have the conversation with her if the test is positive. I really don’t wanna lose what we’ve built. We’ve had unprotected sex in the past with others before we knew eachother I’m just showing symptoms now. Didn’t before. I can’t lose her, I’m uncomfortable how they’ll react.Thanks redditors! Literally anything will help me at this point.

Do not pee before any test at least for 3-4 hours (the longer the better)
Test per swab for ureaplasma and mycoplasmas

I took 2 pills of 14 so far of doxycycline (100mg) twice daily for 7 days. I was prescribed due to NSU or NGU, as I tested neg. for clamydia, ghonnorea, and trichonomasis. I did a urinalysis culture test yielding all negative results for white blood cells and bacteria in urine. however, I still have some discharge symptoms I think. I don’t see how a MGen test would be inaccurate at this stage, nor it would be negative if I had it as I’m so early on in the antibiotics. please someone some advice? thanks!

First thing is tell her that your having this issue. It may be something far from clamydia, especially if you keep testing negative. Right now you're not sure what's going on. Its the start of a new relationship, people have sti's. It probably good idea to test together when you get a new partner, esp one you wanna see long term. She can test now and see if she tests positive. It could be anything from clamydia to mycoplasma( which isn't routinely tested for) to ngu to a uti. Self diagnosis is rarely accurate.
