A member asked:
Is the dna, sda chlamydia test unreliable? it showed me as a negative but i cmae up positive in the rna, tma test. how come?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Generally reliable: Both tests have very high sensitivity and specificity; however, the dna sda test can have false negatives if there is an inhibitor present, such as a high white count in the urine or blood. The rna/tma test is less subject to this, and due to the positive screen and risk/benefit ratio, i would recommend treatment.
