The blood work you had it done by PCP's order would not include screening test for Chlamydia. The test online should include urine or urethra swab which is tested for Chlamydia.

Agree with Dr, Le. Your PCP would not have tested for Chlamydia. It is a PCR test done on urine or urethral swab. You should get treated for Chlamydia. Please note that 25% of people with Chlamydia also have gonorrhea,, so do not delay treatment.
