No further tests: The tests for PID are essentially the same as testing for gonorrhea/chlamydia. If you are positive make sure you AND your partner are treated. Avoid intercourse to prevent re-transmission until both have a negative chlamydia test. Best Wishes Dr M

Wrong question: PID is evident on physical exam so you were evaluated already. The term basically means the disease has caused enough inflammation that your symptoms are at a specific intensity. What you need is to know if the chlamydia injured your tubes enough to impair fertility. There are some tests that can be done after your present treatment has been completed.Ask the doc.

Good evening doctor. My partner of 4 years and I recently went to get tested for stds and he came up positive for chlamydia. I came out negative. He swears it's only been me for 4 years. Is there a possibility that the test could've been a false positive?
