Confidentiality is built in — orders are private and results are accessed securely. Always confirm current preparation steps, hours, and any fees directly with the collection lab.
What it measures
- Chlamydia trachomatis DNA — Genetic material from the bacterium, detected by a nucleic acid amplification test (NAAT).
- Chlamydia trachomatis RNA — A related target some NAAT tests use to detect the same organism.
- Collection adequacy — Whether the urine sample is suitable for testing, since a poor sample can affect accuracy.
Preparation
No fasting is needed. For the most reliable result, collect the first part of the urine stream (first-catch) and avoid urinating for about one to two hours before the sample, unless your clinician says otherwise.
Results and what they mean
Results are usually reported as positive (detected) or negative (not detected), sometimes with a note if the sample was inadequate. A positive result means the bacterium was found; a negative result means it was not found, though very recent exposure may not show up yet. Only a clinician can interpret your result in context. This is general information, not medical advice.

Frequently asked questions
Does this test check for other infections too?
A chlamydia urine test alone does not. Your clinician may order tests for gonorrhea or other infections at the same time.
Can I test at home?
Some home collection kits are available, but a clinician visit allows proper testing and follow-up. Ask your clinician what is best for you.
How soon after exposure should I test?
Testing too soon may miss an infection. Ask your clinician when to test based on your situation.
Is my result private?
Yes. Results are handled confidentially and shared with you and your clinician.
