This urine test for Chlamydia is based on amplification of the DNA that is present in Chlamydia trachomatis. Molecular testing for Chlamydia trachomatis is currently the standard and is widely used. The advantage of molecular Chlamydia tests is that they are generally more sensitive and specific than conventional culture (swabbing) and can identify more positive specimens.
This Chlamydia test is a urine test. All you have to do is pee in a cup at the STD Test Center. No blood draws, no undressing, no swabbing.
Yes. Please do not urinate for at least 1 hour before going to the STD Test Center for accurate results.
Chlamydia test results are either positive or negative. A positive result means there is an active infection. Antibiotics can be prescribed by the physicians on call to treat Chlamydia and cure the infection.
A negative Chlamydia test result means there is no evidence of infection at the time of the test. If you have a positive result, it's important to notify and treat any sexual partners who may have been exposed to the infection.
