A member asked:

Chlamydia undetected for 5 years?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Possibly: The testing needs adequate concentration of organisms to prove their presence. A positive result is to be trusted, but a negative occasionally will be incorrect. Additionally, about 50% of women will not have obvious symptoms and 10% for men.
