A member asked:
If chlamydia infection is latent/dormant, will it still show up on vaginal swab?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Chlamydia test: Usually, yes. Recent research suggests that chlamydia sometimes lingers in the intestinal tract, in which case genital or urine testing may not detect it. However, this appears to be rare, and negative vaginal and/or urine testing usually is reliable proof someone isn't infected.
