 [ Symptoms ] how accurate are urine tests for chlamydia  i recently found out i was pregnant at 8wks i had a urine test done & only had a uti at 12wks i had a pap done & tested positive for chlamydia &been treated so my partner when to the doctor got urine & blood tests done no swab he informed the doctor & they went ahead & gave him the treatment he got his test results back & negative all across hes the only partner i have had in 3 years im completely baffled how is it he tested negative on a urine test & i did not til a pap help ease my mind [ Disease ] as a clinician we are not really sure who gave what to whom when it comes to chlamydia our goal is just to treat our patient and treat the partner doing an extensive investigation as to who brought the std into the relationship is really not something we do clearly you were exposed by someone whether he tests positive or not is really irrelevant at this point if you are both treated and both test negative again the urine dna test is very accurate but like most tests few lab tests are really 100 accurate there may be variables in collecting the specimen and processing it in the lab chlamydia can be asymptomatic in both men and women so you could have had it for a long time the important thing is that it was found and successfully treated
