Hi XXXXXXX

Thanks for your query.

The answer is most likely depending on when you took the cipro and when the test was taken.

I would recommend if you want the ultimate peace of mind regarding this that you repeat an STD screen in 7 days if it is not too costly or inconvenient for you.

I hope this information has been helpful to you regarding your query and I am available for followup questions if you need.

Regards,

Dr. Robert Galamaga
