No, it's only detected by a chlamydia test.
To get tested for chlamydia, you must ask specifically for that test. Routine urinalysis or culture does not detect chlamydia.Chlamydia testing requires a specific test. Urine testing done for other purposes will not detect chlamydia.
Yes. A culture to detect bacteria in the urine does not check for chlamydia. The urine test for chlamydia is not a standard urinalysis or urine culture, but is a specific test to detect chlamydia's genetic material. Ask for the test specifically if you are concerned.
Chlamydia can be detected with a specific chlamydia test done with a vaginal swab. A routine genital culture will not be able to detect chlamydia.
A chlamydia test doesn't detect drug or medication metabolites. Get tested as soon as possible.Chlamydia tests cannot detect drugs. Don't let this concern keep you from STD screening.

To get chlamydia test results, contact the health care provider that did the test.
Chlamydia is typically detected through urine or swab samples, not blood samples. Blood tests are not commonly used for diagnosing 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.
A pap smear does not detect chlamydia. A pap smear can not detect chlamydia, and a negative Pap smear does not indicate that you don't have chlamydia. So, yes, it's possible to have a Pap test for four years and not know you have chlamydia if your health care provider didn't do a specific test for chlamydia. Did your health care provider actually test for chlamydia in the prior four years? First check with your health care provider, and then you can try to figure out how you might have contracted it, if in fact you had a negative test as soon as a year ago.
A gram stain cannot detect chlamydia. A gram stain in men that finds gram negative diplococci is considered diagnostic for gonorrhea, but it can't be used in females, and it can't prove chlamydia. A gram stain in men can be used to rule out gonorrhea and possibly diagnose "non-gonococcal urethritis" if a male has symptoms. However, although it may seem that NGU is synonymous with chlamydia, there are other possible causes.
