How reliable are the chlamydia tests?
Tests are generally very good at detecting a chlamydia infection, although it is possible to get a false positive or a false negative result. It’s important that instructions are followed carefully when providing a specimen for testing, otherwise an infection might get missed. Occasionally, a repeat sample is needed for technical reasons.
