How likely can one get chlamydia from someone who has it? how long should one wait before getting tested for accurate results?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No need to wait: Molecular tests for chlamydia are sensitive and specific. You do not need to wait to get tested. If you suspect you have chlamydia, see your doctor for the test. In collecting urine, do collect the very first flow of urine. This is in contrast to all other urine collections.
