Chlamydia Test Details

What type of test is there for Chlamydia?

The actual test name for determining if Chlamydia is present is called the Chlamydia Nucleic Acid Amplification (NAAT) Test. This is a urine test that is based on amplification of the DNA that is present in Chlamydia trachomatis. The urine test is simple and normally preferable to the traditional method that requires swabbing. This urine test for Chlamydia trachomatis is currently the gold standard for testing and is widely used across the country in both doctor's offices and hospitals.

What kind of sample is required?

Our Chlamydia test requires a simple urine sample, given at either a local testing center or mailed back to our lab (if you choose to test from the privacy of your own home).

How to prepare for your test?

The only required preparation is to not urinate for at least one hour before giving your sample.

When can I expect results?

Chlamydia test results are usually available in 1-5 business days. After you purchase your test from us, you can choose to receive a phone call or email with your results.

If you get tested and are returned a positive result, we are here to help. Through our partnership with the American Social Health Association (ASHA), we have certified expert STD counselors to help you interpret results and discuss any concerns you may have.
