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.

What our customers say
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.
