Chlamydia, Blood Test

Our chlamydia blood test offers broader insight than a urine test alone because blood tests can detect antibodies, which may indicate recent or past exposure, even if a urine test doesn’t show an active infection. This makes it especially helpful when testing very soon after potential exposure, when symptoms don’t match urine test results, or when you simply want added reassurance about your status. 

Why Choose a Chlamydia Blood Test?

Most people think of urine tests when it comes to chlamydia screening, and for detecting active infections, that’s typically the standard. However, a blood test offers advantages that a urine test alone can’t provide, making it a valuable option for a more complete understanding of your sexual health.

Here’s why you might choose a blood test instead:

1. It Can Detect Past Exposure Through Antibodies

A urine test only detects the bacteria if it’s currently active in your system. A blood test can identify antibodies, which may indicate current or previous exposure, even if the infection isn’t detectable through urine at the time of testing.

This is especially useful if:

• You tested too soon after exposure
• You were recently treated and want reassurance
• You had a partner test positive and want a fuller picture

2. Helpful When Symptoms Don’t Match Urine Test Results

If you’re experiencing symptoms but your urine test was negative, a blood test provides an extra layer of insight. It can help identify whether you’ve been exposed recently or in the past.

3. Discreet, Quick, and No Urine Sample Needed

Some people prefer a blood test simply because:

• It feels more discreet
• It doesn’t require a urine sample
• It’s done quickly by a lab professional
• It fits smoothly into a standard blood-draw appointment if you are getting tested for other STDs as well.

For many, it’s the more comfortable choice.

Possible Symptoms of Chlamydia:

Most people don’t notice symptoms, but when they do appear, it may be weeks or even months after exposure.

In Men, symptoms may include:

• Unusual discharge from the penis
• Pain or burning during urination
• Testicular pain or swelling
• Pain, bleeding, or discharge from the anus

In Women, symptoms may include:

• Unusual vaginal discharge
• Pain or burning during urination
• Pain or bleeding during/after sex
• Bleeding between periods or unusually heavy periods
• Anal pain, bleeding, or discharge

If you’re experiencing any of these signs, or if you’ve had unprotected sex, testing now is the safest choice.

Who Is at Higher Risk?

Anyone who has unprotected vaginal, anal, or oral sex can become infected. Pregnant individuals should also get tested, as chlamydia can be passed to the newborn during delivery, leading to serious health issues or premature birth.

Why You Shouldn’t Wait To Test:

When treated early, chlamydia is easily cured. But when left untreated, it increases the risk of contracting or transmitting HIV and can lead to other serious health problems:

In Women:

• Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID)
• Chronic pelvic pain
• Infertility
• Pregnancy complications

In Men:

• Infection of the testicles or prostate
• Urethral inflammation
• Infertility (in rare cases)

Yes, It's Curable!

The good news: chlamydia is curable and one of the most easily treated STDs. If your test result is positive, our doctors can prescribe fast-acting antibiotics for you as most infections are cleared with a simple course of medication. Just avoid sexual activity for at least one week during treatment to prevent spreading the infection.

Who Should Consider This Test?

You may benefit from the Chlamydia Blood Test if:

• You received negative Chalmydia Urine test results
• You want to know about previous exposure, rather than just an active infection
• You have had multiple or new sexual partners
• You are entering a new relationship and both partners want a comprehensive check
• You have had unprotected sex and want broad testing in one visit
• You want STD screenings without scheduling a doctor’s visit first
