A member asked:

Treated for chylmadia and herpes. doc says i need to wait a month for retesting for those and other ones. why is that. 1st treatment of chylmadia fai?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

PCR: The test works by detecting the dna of the chlamydia organism. Even a tiny bit will make the test positive, so one needs to wait a while before retesting to confirm a cute, as one can stay positive for several weeks after successful treatment.
