How soon can chlamydia show up in urine?

Answer 1

Urine tests are effective for testing chlamydia, as long as the right test is ordered. A routine urinalysis or urine culture will not detect chlamydia. The specific chlamydia test needs to be ordered.

There is a DNA amplification test that can be performed for chlamydia and gonorrhea on a urine sample. The urine, however, should not be a midstream sample - it should be the first urine that is urinated to get any of the bacteria that were growing in the urethra.

Answer 2

No a drug test cannot tell if you have chlamydia. The only thing it tests for is drugs. STD and HIV are tested for by either blood work or urine test. But the test has to be specified for only STD or HIV. If the urine test is for drugs chlamydia will not show up.

Answer 3

No. There's a specific test. Ask for it by name.

Answer 4

it will take 2 to 3 weeks for chlamydia to show up in urine.
In 1-3 weeks after contact.

Answer 5

Chlamydia can infect the urinary tract, and you can get tested for chlamydia with a urine same. Routine urinalysis will not detect chlamydia, although it may show elevated white blood cells.

Answer 6

You could have a false negative result; but if it is tested for there is a high probability it will show up in a urine test.

Answer 7

A urinalysis can't detect chlamydia, but specific chlamydia testing can be done on urine. Contact your health care provider to get tested.

Answer 8

Chlamydia can be detected by a chlamydia test. If you had a wet smear to check for bacterial vaginosis, that test can't diagnose chlamydia or tell you that you aren't infected.

Answer 9

Drugs will not show up in a chlamydia test. Drug testing requires a specific test be ordered.
