Because chlamydia can infect the testes, and because the testes rely on the body being able to tell that it shouldn't attack the sperm made there, there is concern that a vaccine could affect sperm production in men by inducing an autoimmune response. (See related link).

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.

Is a urine test accurate to test for chlamydia?

A normal blood test will not detect the infection. To diagnose chlamydia, you need a urine test or swab of the vagina, urethra, rectum, throat, or eye. Blood tests can look for evidence of past infection with chlamydia, but these are of no use in determining current infection and aren't used to diagnose or treat disease.

Does chlamydia sterilize your eggs?

Chlamydia does not damage a woman's eggs. It may cause future infertility by damaging the fallopian tubes and making it difficult for the sperm and egg to meet, or by making it difficult for the fertilized egg to pass through the tubes.

Do you need to take another blood test to check if chlamydia is cleared after the prescription?

A normal blood test will not detect the infection. To diagnose chlamydia, you need a urine test or swab of the vagina, urethra, rectum, throat, or eye. Blood tests can look for evidence of past infection with chlamydia, but these are of no use in determining current infection and aren't used to diagnose or treat disease. A positive blood test showing evidence of past infection will not change as a result of antibiotic treatment.
