How do I treat and prevent Chlamydia? The test for Chlamydia involves a urine-based test where the patient would urinate in a cup and the specimen is sent to a lab and tested for Chlamydia and the results come back within three days. Chlamydia is easily treated with a low-cost antibiotic that cures the disease and kills the organism when you take it. Some of the complications with Chlamydia if it goes untreated; in women, it can lead it to infertility as well as it can lead to pelvic inflammatory disease; in men if it goes untreated, it can lead to pain in the testes and those are some of the more common complications that can occur in both women and men. If you are going to have sex, you need to use protection, but to be completely free of Chlamydia is to not have sex. Those people who should be tested for Chlamydia include women who are sexually active; under the age of 25, should receive an annual test for Chlamydia and then those women who are sexually active over the age of 25 and have risk factors for Chlamydia, which include multiple sexual partners and unprotected sex. Those men who should get tested include of course if they have symptoms like a discharge and consider getting the test annually if they are sexually active without symptoms.
