What is the Chlamydia Home Test Kit?<\/span><\/h2>\n

The Chlamydia home test is a rapid immuno-chromatographic test for the visual detection of Chlamydia trachoma antigen in either endocervical swab or urine specimens. This test adopts the double antibody sandwich method. When it is necessary to add exactly four drops of the specimen to the sample properly, the specimen is absorbed into the device by capillary action, mixes with the antibody dye conjugate, and flows across the pre-coated membrane.<\/span><\/p>\n

When the Chlamydia trachoma antigen level is at or above the target limit (test detection limit), the Chlamydia trachoma antigen in the specimen binds to the antibody dye conjugate and is captured by the immobilized monoclonal antibody in the test region (T) of the device. This produces a colored test band and shows a positive result.<\/span><\/p>\n

If the Chlamydia trachoma antigen level is zero or below the target threshold, no colored bands are visible in the test region (T) of the device, which is negative.<\/span><\/p>\n

To function as a procedure control, a colored line will appear in the Control area (C), if the test has been carried out correctly.<\/span><\/p>\n

When should I do Chlamydia test?<\/span><\/h2>\n

Do not delay the test if you think you may have Chlamydia. Being diagnosed and treated as soon as possible will reduce your risk of developing serious complications of Chlamydia.<\/span><\/p>\n

You can get a Chlamydia test at any time – although you may be advised to repeat the test later if you have had it less than 2 weeks since sex because the infection may not always be found at an early stage.<\/span><\/p>\n

You should consider having a Chlamydia test if:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  • You or your partner have symptoms of Chlamydia<\/span><\/li>\n
  • You have had unprotected sex with a new partner<\/span><\/li>\n
  • The condom splits when you have sex<\/span><\/li>\n
  • You or your partner have had unprotected sex with other people<\/span><\/li>\n
  • You think you can get a sexually transmitted infection (STI)<\/span><\/li>\n
  • sexual partners tell you they have an STI<\/span><\/li>\n
  • You are pregnant or planning a pregnancy<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    If you are under 25 years of age and sexually active, getting tested every year or when you change partners is recommended because you are more likely to get Chlamydia.<\/span><\/p>\n

    If you have Chlamydia, you may be offered more tests about 3 months after being treated. This is because young adults who test positive for Chlamydia are at a higher risk of contracting it again.<\/span><\/p>\n

    What if I tested positive for Chlamydia?<\/span><\/h2>\n

    If your test result is positive from the Chlamydia home testing kit, you should visit your doctor or healthcare provider as soon as possible to get treatment for you and your sexual partner, as well as any additional testing you may need.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
