When Should I Get Tested for Chlamydia?

You should consider getting tested for chlamydia if you:

• Are sexually active, particularly with new or multiple partners
• Have symptoms such as unusual discharge, pain during urination, or lower abdominal pain
• Have had unprotected sex
• Are pregnant or planning to become pregnant
• Have a partner who has tested positive for chlamydia

Regular testing is crucial as chlamydia often shows no symptoms, yet it can lead to serious health complications if left untreated.

When Will I Get the Test Results?

Your test results are usually available within 1 to 2 business days after the lab receives your sample. You’ll receive an email notification once your results are ready, and our secure online portal allows you to access your results as soon as they are ready.

Should I Get Tested Through Blood or Urine Sample?

For chlamydia testing, a urine sample is typically preferred as it is non-invasive and easy to collect. In some cases, a swab from the genital area may be used, especially for women. Blood tests are not commonly used for chlamydia detection.

How Can I Be Prepared for the Test?

Preparing for the chlamydia test is simple:

• Avoid urinating at least 1-2 hours before providing a urine sample.
• Follow any specific instructions provided by our team if a genital swab is required.
• Ensure you have all necessary identification and paperwork if you are visiting a testing center.
