Hello,
Welcome to HealthcareMagic. Even if you are Giardia positive, if you are just a cyst passer and not symptomatic, generally it does not need treatment. However, if you have not undergone any antibiotic regime, even when you had symptoms , that case you may take a course of metronidazole.
Take care.
