Question 1

what does it mean when a woman has chlamydia infections?

Accepted Answer

STD: It means u have had sex with someone infected
u will need antibiotic and partner will need to be treated. The health department will have to be notified and contact u to make sure ur partners are treated.  U will need a test later to make sure ur cured.

Question 2

my boyfriend got retested for chlamydia. he did a urine test. it came back indeterminate. what does this mean?

Accepted Answer

Inadequate study: It basically means they cannot say he was positive or negative. This is often because the specimen was not adequate for study and should be repeated.Most tests run an internal control with the specimen to see if the sample is adequate. If the urine was too dilute, or too acidic or basic or had other issues, the results could not be generated.

Question 3

if tested positive for chlamydia and its found high in the blood what does it mean? is the person suppose to get on a traetment right away?

Accepted Answer

This can be a STD.: Chlamydia can be a sexually transmitted bacteria, especially c. Trachomatis.  If untreated, it can result in epididymitis,  urethritis, and lymphogranuloma venereum.  Treatment is with Doxycycline or tetracycline.  Other kinds of chlamydiae are c. Psitticosis, from parrots, and c. Pneumoniae from other people infecting the lungs.  Get to your doctor and get treated fast, and tell partner if std.

Question 4

this is stressing me out if a girl had chlamydia before but not sure for how long but got it treated does that mean she can't have kids anymore?

Accepted Answer

No: having Chlamydia and being breated for it does not make a woman unable to have children.  She can, indeed, have kids in other words

Question 5

looking through my medical records, i had a culture done for chlamydia and gonnorhea, if it says not detected does tht mean the test was negative?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Yes. It means the test was negative.

Question 6

my doctor gave me a shot for chlamydia. does thst mean im ok?

Accepted Answer

Gonorrhea too?: Hmm... something doesn't compute. There is no shot that treats chlamydia. Gonorrhea usually is treated with a shot of ceftriaxone, plus other drugs by mouth (azithromycin or doxycycline) which are good for chlamydia. If you don't understand your treatment, recheck withe the doctor's office: you have a right to understand completely! Make sure your partner(s) also are treated. Good luck!

Question 7

what are chlamydia antibodies? does it mean a person is currently infected?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Chlamydia is a bacteria, so antibody testing does not apply.  I suspect you are referring to dna testing, which is more reliable than direct cultures and is commonly done off of a pap smear sample.  If this is positive you are infected and need to be treated.

Question 8

if i test positive for a uti but they did not test specifically for chlamydia does that mean the uti was caused by something other than chlamydia?

Accepted Answer

Hard to say: My gold standard for UTI diagnosis is a urine culture which yields the germ and what meds kill it.Some look at a urinalysis and assume a UTI and treat with the usual antibiotic.If you didn't ask them to look, the test for chlamydia would not usually be run. Since I don't  know how you were tested or whether they did a culture, I cannot be sure what they found.

Question 9

i had sex with a girl who had chlamydia. i was being treated for chlamydia at the time so i was still taking my meds. does this mean im reinfected?

Accepted Answer

Possibly: This is one of those problems where a visit to your doctor is necessary to figure out what's going on.  Only after a thorough evaluation, including examination and possibly labs and other tests, can your doctor correctly diagnose you and treat you effectively.

Question 10

i did a chlamydia test. not sure what it means or the severity of the result. the result for the chlamydia igg is 1.38 and the chlamydia igm is 1.39?

Accepted Answer

Unreliable test: Chlamydia blood tests are unreliable. It shows only that you have been infected sometime in your life with chlamydia, or with a related but different bacteria called Chlamydophila. The only reliable test for current infection is for chlamydial DNA on urine or urethral swab. However, the positive IgM result suggest possible recent chlamydia infection. Ask your doctor about treatment.
