alcohol prior to sexual health tests

Hello. I drank a lot of alcohol the night before having a blood test and urine test. Would this affect the results? The results came back that everything is fine but I am still very concerned..... Thanks for any help.

Results wouldn't be affected at all, as long as the "window periods" for you tests are covered then you should stop worrying.

It's the time from the point when you had sex to the point that an STI will show up on a test. Chlamydia and Gonhorrhoea = 2 weeks, HIV = 6 weeks, Syphilis = 12 weeks.
