A member asked:
Is it possible i had a urine infection and the test didn't detect chlamydia?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Chlamydia in Women: Yes. Chlamydia in the vaginal canal usually infects the cervix. There is no connection with the urethra and the cervix in females. So, urine testing would not adequately test a female for either gonorrhea or chlamydia.
