Reply To: Do I need a test of cure if it was genital only?

The distinction is deliberate. A routine test of cure is recommended for pharyngeal infection because the throat is harder to clear. For genital infection it is not routinely recommended in the same way.

What is recommended for everyone is a retest a few months later, which is about reinfection rather than whether the treatment worked.
