That’s not the back of the throat you swabbed your soft pallet

Lol

A question: is the test and result accurate for the throat? If it's negative, you can be sure (or totally sure) that you don't have gonorhea , and if you have gonorhea, it will be surely positive? thank you in advance !

I've had a genital gonorrhea but it was gone after a week of treatment but I've had this soar throat that seems dry and seems like stuck on the tissue of the throat. It's been 3 weeks and together with the soar throat I have fatigue most of the times. I really want to be healed

Get the pcr test for gonorrhea and chlamidya

What's the difference between this and an urine test?

[@JoelGer1]

The urine test is MORE PAINFUL!

[@Claraleavesthetrees]

STIs can infect different areas. Just because it's in your mouth doesn't mean it's on your genitals and vice versa, so testing both is important

Thorat gonnorheaa doesn't get detected in urine
