hi this is a piece of info i found and as you can see the urine test is just an extra test that can be done. to determine if a person has chlamydia a physician may perform a culture swab. for women the physician may take a sample of discharge from the cervix. in some cases a sample may be taken from the anus. the sample is then sent to a laboratory where it is studied for the presence of bacteria. urine tests may also be performed. after a sample of urine is collected it is sent to a laboratory where it is studied for the presence of bacteria. do hope this helps you. good luck
is it possible for chlamydia to go undetected in an std test? . about a year ago i was diagnosed with chlamydia but didn't get treated i could not afford the medicine. i decide to go back to the doctor (a different one). i just got the call i am negative chlamydia. i never told her i tested positive for it. but i did tell her that i'm sure i'm going to test positive for something. i also realized that she didn't take a urine sample from me only culture sample. is it possible chlamydia can go undetected in a culture sample? can it clear up on it's own?
