Chlamydia Testing Options

Chlamydia the most common STD in the United States and easy to detect. Left untreated, chlamydia can cause severe long-term side effects, specifically in women.
Preparing for a chlamydia test
Testing for chlamydia is easy and painless, requiring a simple urine sample or vaginal swab. If you select lab testing, a urine sample will be collected. If you select at-home testing and are female, a vaginal swab test will be included.
Quick and Easy testing process

Selecting the local facility option allows you to test as soon as today. Testing at home for chlamydia involves collecting a vaginal swab sample and mailing it directly to our lab. Both options are completely private.

If left untreated, chlamydia can cause serious health complications including pelvic inflammatory disease, chronic pelvic pain, and infertility in women.
Chlamydia window period: know when to get tested
The window period for chlamydia, the time between exposure and when the test can accurately detect the infection, is 3-7 days.
Common chlamydia symptoms
Chlamydia is often asymptotic, meaning most people experience no signs or symptoms of chlamydial infection. If symptoms of chlamydia are present, they typically include abnormal discharge, burning during urination, bleeding between menstrual cycles in women. Men may experience abnormal discharge, pain during urination, or burning and itching around the opening of the penis.
Chlamydia test recommendation
Chlamydia testing is recommended for all sexually active adults as part of an annual STD screen. Anyone concerned of recent exposure, those experiencing symptoms, sexually active women under 25, pregnant women, and anyone engaging in high risk sexual behavior should test for chlamydia and STDs more frequently.
Chlamydia test details
The urine test for chlamydia is called the Chlamydia Nucleic Acid Amplification Test, also referred to as NAAT. The test is based on amplification of the DNA present in Chlamydia trachomatis, the bacteria causing chlamydial infection.

* ABOUT HIV TESTING
The HIV early detection test is a DNA-based test that can detect the virus as early as two weeks after possible exposure. However, our physician's recommend pairing the early detection test with the HIV Standard test, which is considered the "gold standard" in HIV screening. However, it may take up to 12 weeks for the HIV Standard test to provide accurate results. Repeat HIV testing is recommended for sexually active adults with multiple partners or concern of exposure.
