The PAP test itself is not a test for specific STDs such as chlamydia. There is also a urine test that could indicate chlamydia in men. False negative results are considered to be fairly common, especially in men without symptoms. If you think that you are at risk, let your clinician know that you want a specific test for chlamydia. Treatment for Chlamydia Specifically prescribed antibiotics will effectively eliminate the organism if taken correctly and completely.
Treatment is taken orally for one to two weeks, as prescribed by a clinician.
Once treated, chlamydia will not recur unless one is re-infected. Chlamydia is curable. Chlamydia can result in permanent damage if left untreated. There are no simple tests for determining the extent of damage from a single chlamydia infection. The damage is assessed only if future problems arise.
