Can a female test negative for chlamydia after having it for a long time?

The test for chlamydia remains reliable even if someone has been infected for years. Unlike syphilis, long term infection doesn't give a false negative result. However, a certain percentage of people appear to clear chlamydia infection on their own, so it's possible to have chlamydia in the past but test negative now even without taking treatment.
