Chlamydia testing
Known As: Chlamydia Nucleic Acid Amplification, Amplicor, Chlamydia Aptima, TMA, Chlamydia LCR, Chlamydia PCR, Probe Tec, and SDA
Description: The Chlamydia test is able to detect for the bacteria that causes Chlamydia via urine with the nucleic acid amplification technology. This technology is highly effective in detecting genital Chlamydia. Unlike the urethral swab for males, the nucleic acid amplification Chlamydia testing is pain free. Due to the fact that this test does not require a urethral or vaginal swab, you can collect the urine specimen by yourself, in privacy, at the lab or at home. The average incubation period for detection is typically from a few days to a few weeks after a contact. Turnaround time is typically 1-3 business days.
Early detection is important so that treatment may begin as soon as possible and assist with delaying the onset of serious complications. In addition, knowing your status will enable you to take the necessary steps in preventing the transmission of Chlamydia to others.
Requirements: This is a urine test. Client should withhold urination for at least 1 hour prior to specimen collection. Client should provide a first catch urine, about 20-30 ml, from the initial stream into the collection cup and allow remainder of the stream to go into the toilet. Larger volumes may result in the dilution of the specimen and reduce sensitivity. Clients should not cleanse genital area prior to giving their urine specimen.

What is Chlamydia?
Chlamydia, caused by the Chlamydia Trachomatis bacterium, is one of the most common sexually transmitted diseases in the United States. Both men and women are at risk of transmitting or being infected with Chlamydia. Chlamydia may also be transmitted to babies from their mothers during delivery. Chlamydia is curable but if left untreated, it can cause irreversible damage. Due to the amount of Chlamydia cases in the United States, its asymptotic nature, and the severe consequences if left untreated, health experts recommend annual screenings in sexually active individuals in non-monogamous relationships. read more...
