Can you find out in an hour if you have chlamydia?

Answer 1

Depending on the lab facilities at your doctor's office, they can get test results within one or two days. It may be that the evidence based on the physical exam is so compelling that the gynecologist offers presumptive treatment -- treatment before the results are back.

Answer 2

The testing systems used in the US for chlamydia cannot give answers in less than five hours. Even if you provided the sample right next to the machine, you can't get a diagnosis in an hour.

A health care provider may make a preliminary, clinical diagnosis if chlamydia based on physical exam and history, but a definite diagnosis will take longer.

Answer 3

Some testing will determine if a person has an issue; but if there are no symptoms, and there are no direct tests taken, a doctor will not be able to tell.

Answer 4

Chlamydia does not affect the accuracy of a pregnancy test. A doctor can do a simple urine test to see if a woman with chlamydia is pregnant.
