The range column identifies the values which determine if a test is negative, positive or equivocal. This will determine the range of values for each possible result. For example, if anything in the < 10 range is considered negative, then a test result of [ 5 ]  would be negative. If the results are equivocal or need further explanation, our healthcare professionals are happy to help you understand your results and next steps. 

Those experiencing chlamydia symptoms will generally see them subside within a few days of beginning a treatment regimen. And typically, a person will be completely free of the infection within a week. During your treatment, you’re advised to abstain from sexual activity just in case you are still contagious. Once some time has passed, you’ll want to test again just to confirm that you are chlamydia free. And remember, just because you’ve been cured of chlamydia once does not give you any sort of “chlamydia immunity”. It is very possible to contract chlamydia more than once in a lifetime.
