Hi there, I recently had sex over a month ago with a boy I know quite well. He s recently informed me that a girl he s previously had sex with has been tested positive for chlaymdia. However 5 days after I had sex with him I was tested and it came back with a non STI infection. Would have this have came back in the results or do I need to be retested?

Hi,

Though the window period for chlamydia is 4 weeks. A confirmation test is possible after 3 months of exposure.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
