How Long Does A Test Take To Detect Chlamydia?
How long can you have Chlamydia without it showing a positive in a test? I was separated from my girlfriend for 1 month and in that time I had unprotected sex. When I got back with my girlfriend we both got tested. This was about 2 weeks after having unprotected sex. We both had negative test results which was great. The problem is now another 2 weeks along I am showing symptoms of Chlamydia. Is it possible I had Chlamydia when I was tested earlier, or is it more likely that Chlamydia has been introduced onto our relationship in the last 2 weeks?

Hello,
You can get tested for chlamydia as early as 24 hours after intercourse even though you don't develop symptoms.
Waiting for two weeks is enough for you to get tested.
You may not suppose it is chlamydia without being tested.
Hope I have answered the question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
