How soon can chlamydia show up in urine?

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 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.
