STD masked by wrong dosage

2018-06-26 15:48:11
So i was getting tested for chlamydia and Gon. 2 weeks after an interaction. before i took the test though i took azythromacin 500mg 1 a day for 4 days, the medical professional told me that the dosage was not enough to get rid of a bacteria if present but that it could also hide the bacteria from the test. i wanted to know if this was true. can a lower dosage mask a present bacteria
