A member asked:
If you get throat/vaginal swabs for chlamydia and gonorrhea and it comes up negative, should you get a separate test for the rectum ?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Chlamydia: This organism is an std and is usually assessed with a urethral swab. It can also infect the throat, eyes and rectum, but would be very unusual to have rectal swab positive and urethral swab negative. Discuss this with your doctor.

Yes: If you have had anal sex, then yes. If you have not had anal sex, then no. You can have the stds in your anus only and it would not show up on the oral or vaginal testing.
