trachomatis infections could be detected by performing a test of cure (TOC) after treatment. Current chlamydia treatment guidelines recommend a TOC between 3 and 4 weeks after initiation of treatment, in certain patient groups or when symptoms persist [4, 7, 10].Oct 11, 2016

When should test of cure be done for chlamydia?

Test of cure (i.e., repeat testing after completion of therapy) to document chlamydial eradication, preferably by NAAT, at approximately 4 weeks after therapy completion during pregnancy is recommended because severe sequelae can occur among mothers and neonates if the infection persists.Jul 22, 2021

Why am I still testing positive for chlamydia after treatment?

Chlamydial infection occasionally persists due to treatment failure, but repeat positivity upon retesting is most often due to reinfection from an untreated sexual partner or an infected new partner [4, 5].Jul 28, 2017

How do I know if my chlamydia is gone?

Will chlamydia test positive 2 weeks after treatment?

Our tests are incredibly sensitive and if you do re-test again too early (within 6 weeks of treatment) you are likely to receive a false positive result due to the residual DNA which is present.
