Our Chlamydia Test
A number of our STD tests check for chlamydia. It can take up to 2 weeks from the time of exposure to chlamydia for the infection to become detectable in the urine. If you test for chlamydia before 2 weeks has passed, and you are concerned you may have been exposed to the infection, you will need to repeat the test.

Treatment of chlamydia
Chlamydia is treated with a course of antibiotics which can be taken orally (by mouth). If a person tests positive for chlamydia, LetsGetChecked can provide a prescription for the appropriate antibiotics.
A person with chlamydia must abstain from sexual intercourse until the infection has cleared. Any sexual contacts who may have been exposed to the infection should be advised to get tested.
