Details and FAQs
Here are some of the most frequently asked questions we usually get. Please feel free to contact us if you have any other questions.
To take a urine sample, use the collection cup provided and transfer a small amount of the urine into the sample vial. For collecting a vaginal sample, use the provided swab. Place your sample in the specimen bag provided and mail it back to the lab using the prepaid envelop inside the kit.
Several different diagnostic tests are available for chlamydia. Our lab uses a molecular testing technique known as nucleic acid amplification test (NAAT), which detects the presence of bacterial DNA from a urine sample or a vaginal swab. NAAT tests are the most sensitive and can be performed rapidly.
Chlamydia is easily treated with antibiotics. If your test is positive, talk to your healthcare provider. Refrain from sexual activity until your antibiotic course is completed. If your symptoms do not subside after a few days of taking antibiotics, visit your healthcare provider.
It is important to complete your antibiotic treatment, since inappropriately treated partners can pass on the disease. Repeat infections are common particularly in women. Multiple infections in women can lead to reproductive complications.
Avoiding vaginal, rectal or oral sex is the only surefire way to prevent STDs.
- If you are sexually active
- Male condoms when used properly, reduces the risk of getting or giving chlamydia. Long-term monogamous relationships with a tested partner can also reduce your risk.
