Urine tests are effective for testing chlamydia, as long as the right test is ordered. A routine urinalysis or urine culture will not detect chlamydia. The specific chlamydia test needs to be ordered. There is a DNA amplification test that can be performed for chlamydia and gonorrhea on a urine sample. The urine, however, should not be a midstream sample - it should be the first urine that is urinated to get any of the bacteria that were growing in the urethra.
