A member asked:
What is the longest period after chlamydia exposure that can pass before it will definitely show up in a test?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not known: The longest time from std chlamydia exposure until it shows up in a lab test is not known; because everybody is different, everyone contacts a different number of germs, people's memories of events are not that accurate, each test type is different, tests are not 100% accurate, etc... If a person is, for example, negative at 2 weeks and at 2 months, but positive later, it's likely a new infection.
