A member asked:
Can someone have chlamydia even if its test is negative? is antibiotic for chlamydia not necessary when treating pid and its result is negative?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It depends: The chlamydia tests are highly accurate; a negative result is nearly 100% proof no infectio is present. Many kinds of bacteria contribute to PID. Treatment usually should cover chlamydia even if a chlamydia test is negative: better safe than sorry.
