Gonorrhea, Chlamydia, and Cervical cancer are not tested using blood samples. While you may have tested negative for these tests, the doctor may want a blood sample to run different tests.

Can a gram stain detect chlamydia?
A gram stain cannot detect chlamydia. A gram stain in men that finds gram negative diplococci is considered diagnostic for gonorrhea, but it can't be used in females, and it can't prove chlamydia. A gram stain in men can be used to rule out gonorrhea and possibly diagnose "non-gonococcal urethritis" if a male has symptoms. However, although it may seem that NGU is synonymous with chlamydia, there are other possible causes.

Can you transmit chlamydia and test negative for it?
Yes, it is very possible. Many people can carry a bacteria or virus, then transfer it to another person (chlamydia and meningitis are good examples), and it is often that the second person gets the disease, without the first person ever being aware of their dangerous status.
Can a female test negative for chlamydia after having it for a long time?
The test for chlamydia remains reliable even if someone has been infected for years. Unlike syphilis, long term infection doesn't give a false negative result. However, a certain percentage of people appear to clear chlamydia infection on their own, so it's possible to have chlamydia in the past but test negative now even without taking treatment.

Having a negative result followed by a positive normally means that you were infected with chlamydia between the first and second test.
