A member asked:
Can traces of chlaymydia from a blood test that directly looks for the pathogen show up less than 24 hours after exposure?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Don't use blood: They look for the genetic material in the germs to show up in your urine or a swab. Chlamydia never enter your blood.
