Chlamydia is one of the most common sexually transmitted infections (STIs) in the United States. It’s also one of the most treatable. However, if left untreated, chlamydia can lead to serious health complications, such as pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) and infertility.
The good news is that chlamydia testing is easy, affordable, and confidential. At Nao Medical, we offer chlamydia testing as part of our comprehensive STD testing services. Our clinics are conveniently located in the New York City area, and we also offer telemedicine options for those who prefer to get tested from the comfort of their own home.
Who Should Get Tested for Chlamydia?
Anyone who is sexually active should get tested for chlamydia and other STIs on a regular basis, especially if you have multiple partners or are not using condoms consistently. Chlamydia can be spread through vaginal, anal, or oral sex, and many people with chlamydia don’t experience any symptoms. This means you could have chlamydia and not know it, which is why regular testing is so important.
Chlamydia testing is also recommended for:
- Anyone who has had unprotected sex with a new partner
- Anyone who has had unprotected sex with a partner who has an STI
- Women who are pregnant or planning to become pregnant
- Men who have sex with men (MSM)
Chlamydia Testing Options at Nao Medical
At Nao Medical, we offer two types of chlamydia testing:
- Urine test: This is the most common type of chlamydia test. You will be asked to provide a urine sample, which will be tested for the presence of chlamydia bacteria.
- Swab test: This test involves taking a swab of the infected area (e.g., cervix, urethra, anus). This may be a more accurate test for women who are pregnant or experiencing symptoms.
Both types of tests are quick and painless, and you will receive your results within a few days. If you test positive for chlamydia, our healthcare providers will work with you to develop a personalized treatment plan, which may involve antibiotics and follow-up testing.

FAQs
What are the symptoms of chlamydia?
Many people with chlamydia do not experience any symptoms, which is why regular testing is so important. However, some common symptoms of chlamydia include:
- Painful urination
- Abnormal discharge from the penis or vagina
- Pain during sex
- Lower abdominal pain
How is chlamydia treated?
Chlamydia is usually treated with antibiotics, which can cure the infection within a few days. However, it’s important to finish the entire course of antibiotics as prescribed, even if your symptoms go away. It’s also important to avoid sex until both you and your partner(s) have completed treatment and have tested negative for chlamydia.
Can chlamydia be prevented?
The best way to prevent chlamydia is to practice safe sex by using condoms consistently and correctly, limiting your number of sexual partners, and getting tested regularly for STIs. If you are sexually active, it’s also important to talk openly and honestly with your partner(s) about your sexual health and history.
