We use the FDA approved Nucleic Acid Amplification (NAA) test to screen for chlamydia infections in urine samples. This is a non invasive test that requires no painful swabbing and only takes a few minutes to complete at the lab. Results are made available usually within 2 business days.
Avoid urinating for at least one hour before arrival.
This test requires a urine sample only

One of our doctors will call you if you test positive
The chlamydia test requires a urine sample, not a blood sample. Upon arrival at the testing facility you will be directed to fill a cup in the bathroom with urine. This test includes no invasive swabs or scraping.
The results will state either "detected" or "not detected." If your results say "not detected," then you have not been infected with chlamydia or gonorrhea. If your results say "detected," that means that you had a positive result for the test and will be able to discuss treatment options with one of the physicians that we work with. You will not be charged anything extra to speak with a physician--that consultation is included with test.
There is no need to abstain from eating or drinking before the test.
Yes. Chlmaydia can be cured by taking antibiotics. The treatment that is prescribed to you will be based on your medical history and allergies.
If you have had an unprotected sexual encounter, you are at risk for chlamydia and gonorrhea. These diseases are often contracted simultaneously, although not always. It is possible to have one or the other or both of these infections. Patients often test for both of these infections at the same time because it is difficult to differentiate the symptoms and because people often contract these diseases together.
Whether you get tested for chlamydia or gonorrhea separately or get tested for both of them at the same time, your test results are typically in two business days.
If you test positive for chlamydia you'll be automatically contacted via phone by one of our physicians, free of charge. On your consultation call, our doctor will explain your results to you and what options you have for treatment. Chlamydia can easily be treated via antibiotics so don't wait to get tested.

Chlamydia testing using the NAAT method is a highly accurate testing technique. False negatives (a test result saying you do not have chlamydia) are very rare, with less than 1% being inaccurate. False positives are somewhat more common for a variety of reasons and those can be inaccurate up to 10% of the time. C
Chlamydia testing is recommended at varying frequencies depending on your sexual lifestyle and exposure. You should get tested after every unprotected sexual encounter, as well as regularly with your medical checkups. Chlamydia can often go with no symptoms, so testing is the only way to identify the infection.
Chlamydia is treated with a strong antibiotic and you can have sex 7 days after your treamtent is finished. Individuals finishing a chlamydia treatment regiment should get tested to ensure the infection was cleared.
An inconclusive test result can occur for a variety of reasons and will require a fresh sample to be tested again.
Many chlamydia testing methods have existed over the years from culture samples to the Nucleic Acid Amplification (NAA) test we perform here and as of today, the NAA is by far the most accurate method to test for the presence of chlamydia.
