Several issues: Asymptomatic carriage of the germ can be passed from a carrier mom to baby & persist for about 2yrs. Some will develop eye infections or pneumonia in the first 2mo.

Question 7

what causes a chlamydia test to be a false negative?

Accepted Answer

It's just random: Tests miss 5-10% of infections, more by urine, less by urethral or vaginal swab. Maybe other possibilities as well. Chlamydia clears on its own in a few weeks to months, so current testing is negative.
