Hi all, decided to go for my std test at klinik bangsar south.
here's part of the details that they gave me when I enquired
After the blood test, I started to have some doubt. Cause the Dr took only took my blood for the STD test. As far as I recalled, for chlamydia there isn't any blood test for it. As the bacteria isn't found in the blood stream.
Cervical screening tests (smear tests) and routine blood tests do not detect chlamydia. You will need to tell the doctor or nurse if you would also like to be tested for chlamydia at the same time.

Asked her, chlamydia can be diagnose with blood alone? She said yes.
So, this is just something to be noted.
