I took a 10 panel std test prior to  the test I was taking Cefdinir although I stopped taking it 5 days before testing would the cefdinir affect the results which were negative. But now I have a rash on my back that has burning

Syphilis was one of the stds tested for so would the cefdinir not affect it?

as i said it is an antibiotic so would kill bacteria to some degree but if you tested negative at 6 weeks you dont have it

Hi that particular med is really not used to treat std,s but since its an antibiotic it may affect the test showing a negative result but if your tests show a negative result you dont have the std,s you tested for anyway.
