It will usually take between seven and ten days for your results to come back. But if you’ve had unprotected sex with someone who has chlamydia, or if they’re already showing chlamydia symptoms, then it’s likely that you’ve contracted the bacteria. In these circumstances, you can start your treatment for the infection even before your results come back.
If you speak to our doctors, they will advise you on whether or not you should be waiting for test results, or if you should start your chlamydia treatment as soon as possible.
