Hello,
I recently had an sti testing via swab and urine test. I stupidly had sex an hour before the testing and used lube. Will water based lubricant affect my results? I tried to wipe away the lubricant with toliet paper before the testing.

Hi amandat,

No, the lubricant should not affect the results of the test. To check, was the sex you had before the appointment with a barrier (like a condom)?

Yes, it was with a condom. Is that okay?
