Can you see if you got chlamydia if you have blood tests can that pick it up ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not done that way: The way you look for active chlamydia is by finding it's DNA signature on material from the urine or other genital source. Blood antibody studies are done for several other STD types but would not be helpful in this type of infection.
