Hi everyone,
I need some help and advice please. I am completing some at home STD test kits through the NHS. I am going away travelling with some friends next week and aware the results might come back whilst I am away. If I’m honest, I am in a complete mess right now and don’t know how I’ll hide what’s going on (for many reasons, I can’t discuss this with anyone I’ll be with).
My big concern is, whenever I have had swabs done (for other reasons), I am often contacted to say I have a mild case of thrush. However, this is always asymptomatic and so after speaking to me, they always suggest no treatment. I must just have slightly high levels.
My understanding is that the app will update to say if my test results are negative but I will receive a phone call if they are positive. I’m just worried about receiving a call on this trip. I likely wont be able to answer it when in company, so would have to call back. My question is, are the sexual health clinic likely to phone me if the results are negative, but they detect thrush? Or would the negative results display on my profile?
It is highly likely all results will be negative, but if any are positive, it would have massive consequences for me. I don’t want to receive a missed call and then have that huge fear that it must be positive, if it’s simply going to be to tell me it’s thrush.
Sorry, I am totally rambling. Really appreciate any advice.
