Yes: The pap checks for cervical dysplasia but a special dna probe is often added. If that probe is negative it is generally as summed you are free of chlamydia. The false negative and false postive tests are lw when dna is evaluated. See if the probe was done, if negative i would say you are free of chlamydia.
