Yes, it's possible for chlamydia to be undetected by an exam. A person can have chlamydia without signs or symptoms detected by the patient or by the health care provider. For this reason, testing is recommended, even for those who have no symptoms. Women 25 and under and men who have sex with men should be tested every year. Anyone should be tested if they have a new partner. Make sure that you ask for testing when you see your health care provider. A urine test is a quick and painless way to make sure you're not infected.
