Testing

Because there are often, no symptoms experienced by people with chlamydia - it is a very good idea to be tested.

Chlamydia testing can be conducted by using swabs, however, many doctors are now using urine samples. This is much less invasive. You may wish to discuss these options with your doctor.

If you are being tested via a urine sample it is important that you do not urinate for at lease 4 hours before providing a specimen.

Each state and territory has Sexual Health and Family Planning clinics that can both test and prescribe adequate treatment.
