Chlamydia testing algorithms

Here we’ve summarized chlamydia testing for different common situations:

  • Screening for female
  • Screening for males
  • Testing after potential exposure when there are no symptoms
  • Testing when there are symptoms

Screening means that testing is done with no particular exposure in mind when the patient has no symptoms; it’s just a routine test.


Let’s look at the algorithms and see which is best for your particular situation.
