Reply To: Why do they want a throat retest but not a urine one?

The other reason it matters is surveillance. Throat infections are where reduced susceptibility tends to show up first, so the follow up swab is partly about you and partly about catching resistance early.

Go to the appointment. It is a short swab and it is the one that actually confirms it has gone.
