It depends on whether you're trying to enlist or you're already in the military.
If you're trying to enlist, they will tell you to go to the doctor and come back after you're completely free of the disease.
If you're already a soldier, they'll give you a prescription for antibiotics, restrict you to base for two weeks and issue you a follow-up appointment for retesting.

If you took ciprofloxacin would a chlamydia test be positive?
If you took an adequate dose of ciprofloxacin to cure chlamydia, the chlamydia test should be negative as long as you didn't get tested too soon after treatment.
Can you transmit chlamydia and test negative for it?
Yes, it is very possible. Many people can carry a bacteria or virus, then transfer it to another person (chlamydia and meningitis are good examples), and it is often that the second person gets the disease, without the first person ever being aware of their dangerous status.
Who should you tell if you test positive for chlamydia?
If you're diagnosed with chlamydia you should tell all your partners from at least the last 60 days.
If you had a negative chlamydia test three months before a positive test does this mean you contracted it within those three months?
There are a few possible explanations. The most likely is that you contracted chlamydia within those three months. Another possibility is that you got the first test so soon after infection that it could not yet be detected. A false negative or false positive test is another possible explanation.
What physical characteristics can you find in urine if you have chlamydia?
You may get positive leukocytes on a urine dip, but a person can have chlamydia and have no changes in urine other than those detected by a specific chlamydia test.
What is a chlamydia culture?
A chlamydia culture is a particular type of chlamydia test that tries to grow the bacteria from a sample of body fluid. It is very difficult to do correctly, and so is not a very reliable test. A positive chlamydia culture can be believed, but there are many false negative chlamydia cultures. Talk with your health care provider about the right chlamydia test for your situation.
How do you get the results of a chlamydia test?
To get chlamydia test results, contact the health care provider that did the test.
Does alcohol affect the accuracy of a chlamydia test?
Chlamydia does not affect the accuracy of a chlamydia test.
Can you get chlamydia without being exposed?
Yes, you can catch chlamydia from someone even if you're taking antibiotics when you have sex with that person.
If you test positive for chlamydia does your partner have to be recorded?
The requirements for partner tracing for chlamydia vary from one county to another. You can contact your county health department to inquire about their practices.
Can you more than one false negative for chlamydia then get a positive after having PID?
The chances of a false negative chlamydia test result with the newest test kits may be as high as 10%. The chances of two false negative results are 1%, and of three are one in one thousand. Having a negative result followed by a positive normally means that you were infected with chlamydia between the first and second test.
Can an HIV test detect chlamydia?
