How We Test for Hepatitis A
STDcheck.com uses the FDA-cleared Nucleic Acid Amplification (NAA) test, a urine test that is considered the most accurate chlamydia testing option possible. You will be asked to provide a urine sample, which will be examined for the bacterium, Chlamydia trachomatis. Our chlamydia test requires only a few minutes to complete and results are available within 1-2 days. The NAA test does not require any form of fasting, swabbing, pricking, or undressing. All of our lab tests have an accuracy rate that is measured in terms of specificity and sensitivity. This test has a specificity rate of 99.3% and a sensitivity of 99.8%.

Hepatitis A Testing
Do you use blood or urine to test for chlamydia?
Our labs conduct this chlamydia test using a urine sample to check for Chlamydia in the genitourinary system (the organs of the genital (reproductive) and urinary tract). When you arrive at the testing center you will only need to provide a urine sample. There is no swabbing or undressing necessary.
What will the test results say?
Gonorrhea is a curable bacterial infection that tends to inhabit moist, warm places like the urethra, rectum, throat, genital tract, and reproductive tract.4 Often it doesn’t show symptoms, but it can still be passed with no symptoms present. Gonorrhea and chlamydia are typical co-infections, which means that it’s likely to acquire both at the same time. Learn more about gonorrhea here.
Please abstain from urinating for at least an hour prior to taking your chlamydia test. Otherwise, no other preparation is required.
When is the right time to test for chlamydia?
If you are concerned about a possible chlamydia infection, the ideal time to get tested is a minimum of 1-5 days after exposure. In other words, wait at least 24 hours after possible exposure before you take the test. Individuals who have been treated for chlamydia should test again 21 to 28 days after treatment to ensure that the bacterium has cleared.
Can chlamydia be cured or treated?
Yes, chlamydia is curable and can be treated with antibiotics. If necessary, our doctors will provide consultation over the phone and, at their discretion, can prescribe antibiotics to be picked up at a nearby pharmacy.
Who needs chlamydia testing?
Hepatitis is a contagious liver disease that causes inflammation of the liver. Hepatitis A is typically caused by eating or drinking items contaminated with infected fecal matter. Hepatitis B and C usually occur as a result of contact with infected bodily fluids. Hepatitis may resolve through rest, replenishing fluids, and, in chronic cases, it can be treated with antiviral medications.9 There are also vaccines available to prevent some strains of hepatitis.
