Routine chlamydia test? From: AMD (anonymous@obgyn.net) Tue, 15 Sep 1998 17:29:21 -0500 (CDT) Messages sorted by: [ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ] Next message: William D.

Ashley Hill, M.D.: "Re: Routine chlamydia test?" Do most doctors routinely check women for chlamydia during their annual exams? I was a little confused by my doctor this morning. What I understood was that even though I had a negative test 4 years ago, that does not mean that I did not have Chlamydia at the time, and a positive test now would not necessarily mean my husband had been unfaithful during the last 4 years. She seemed to suggest that a positive test now could result from exposure before we were married. Does that make any sense to the professionals here, or did I just misunderstand her? I always thought that once you were in a mutually monogamous relationship, you could quit worrying about STd's (assuming no infidelity). I always thought that Chlamydia culture was like strep throat -- the bacteria is either there or not there. How accurate is the standard culture for chlamydia? Does a single culture show any organism that may be present, or do you need separate cultures for chlamydia, gonorrhea, strep, etc? Thanks, Andrea BTW -- The culture isn't back yet, I am just confused by what she said! Next message: William D.
