About the Chlamydia Test
The Chlamydia Test from GetTested is a laboratory-based analysis designed to detect Chlamydia trachomatis, one of the most common bacterial sexually transmitted infections (STIs).
The test is performed on a dried urine sample that you collect easily at home and send to our accredited laboratory for analysis.
This provides a reliable, convenient, and discreet way to check for chlamydia infection without visiting a clinic.
When to Take the Chlamydia Test
Chlamydia can usually be detected 10–14 days after potential exposure.
Testing earlier than this may lead to false negatives if the bacterial level is still too low to detect.
Routine testing is recommended for anyone who is sexually active, especially after unprotected intercourse or with new or multiple partners.
Chlamydia Symptoms
Chlamydia often causes no symptoms at all, which means many people carry the infection unknowingly.
When symptoms occur, they may include:
- Pain or burning during urination
- Unusual vaginal or penile discharge
- Lower abdominal discomfort
- Testicular pain or swelling (in men)
- Bleeding between periods (in women)
Even without symptoms, untreated chlamydia can lead to serious complications, such as pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), infertility, and increased susceptibility to other infections.
