1 Chlamydia culture. 2  This is a test to find the bacteria that cause a chlamydia infection. 3  A sample of body fluid from areas such as the cervix, urethra, eye, rectum, or throat is added to certain cells used to grow chlamydia.
All you have to do to find out if you have chlamydia or gonorrhea is give a urine sample â it's totally painless. Syphilis, hepatitis and herpes are tested from a blood sample, unless you have an open sore â then the syphilis and herpes tests are gathered from rubbing a cu-tip on the sore. You will receive the results of your STD test back within 7 to 10 days.
