chlamydia test
Bacterial infection check
A chlamydia test is a medical screening for chlamydia, a common sexually transmitted bacterial infection.
Testing typically involves a urine sample or swab from the genitals, throat, or rectum.
Because chlamydia often produces no symptoms, routine testing is recommended for sexually active young adults: I get a chlamydia test at my annual checkup.
