A member asked:
Is it possible to have chlamydia for years without symptoms? also, how long before it can cause infertility? a pap smear won't detect the std, right?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pap smears: A pap smear very easily can detect chlamydia if the physician ordering the test asks for it. But, yes, untreated chlamydia is with you till it is treated. In females this is quite dangerous because pid and infertility can develop quickly.
