About the chlamydia test

What does a chlamydia test involve?

This test checks whether you are infected with the Chlamydia trachomatis bacterium. For men, the test usually involves a urine sample, while for women a vaginal swab is commonly used.

When is it advisable to get tested?

There are several situations in which it is advisable to take a chlamydia test:

  • A current or former sexual partner has told you that they have chlamydia.
  • You have symptoms that could indicate an STI (see the Symptoms section).
  • You have a new partner and want to make sure you are both free from chlamydia.
  • You have had unprotected sex or are considering having unprotected sex.

When is the best time to test for chlamydia?

After a possible exposure, there is a window period: the time between infection and the point at which a test can reliably detect it.

For chlamydia, this window period is approximately 14 days. If you test earlier, the result may be falsely negative. It is therefore advisable to wait at least two weeks after the potential exposure for a reliable result.

How does the chlamydia home test work?

After placing your order, you will receive a test kit with clear instructions. Depending on your situation, you use the appropriate sample type: a urine sample or a vaginal swab. You then return the sample in the provided packaging. A certified laboratory analyses the sample, and you receive your results within a few days via your secure dashboard.

 

Chlamydia symptoms

Symptoms of chlamydia in women

Chlamydia is a sexually transmitted infection (STI) that often causes few or no symptoms. However, symptoms can occur, particularly if the infection spreads. Possible symptoms include:

  • Pain or a burning sensation when urinating
    You may experience discomfort or pain when urinating.
  • Increased or unusual vaginal discharge
    The amount of discharge may increase, and its smell or appearance may differ from normal.
  • Lower abdominal pain, sometimes with fever
    This may indicate inflammation of the uterus or fallopian tubes (pelvic inflammatory disease), which is a serious complication.
  • Bleeding after sex or between periods
    Chlamydia can cause irregular bleeding, for example after sex or outside your normal menstrual period.
  • Pain during sex
    Sexual intercourse may be painful if inflammation is present.

Symptoms of chlamydia in men

In men, chlamydia can sometimes cause noticeable symptoms, but the infection can also go unnoticed. Possible symptoms include:

  • A burning or painful sensation when urinating
    This is one of the most common symptoms in men.
  • Discharge from the penis
    This is often watery or milky in appearance.
  • Pain or swelling in one of the testicles
    This may indicate epididymitis (inflammation of the epididymis), a possible complication of chlamydia.
  • Pain during sex
    Sex can be painful if there is inflammation of the urethra or epididymis.

Important to know

Many people with chlamydia have no symptoms but can still pass the infection on to their partner. If left untreated, chlamydia can lead to complications such as infertility in women and epididymitis in men.

Get tested if you have been at risk, for example after unprotected sex or if you have symptoms. Chlamydia can be effectively treated with antibiotics.

Biomarker summary

What are STIs?

STIs (sexually transmitted infections) are infections that you can contract or transmit through sexual contact. This can happen through contact involving the penis, vagina, anus, mouth or even fingers. STIs are caused by bacteria, viruses or parasites.

You often do not notice that you have an STI, but that does not mean it is harmless. Some STIs can cause unpleasant symptoms such as itching, pain or discharge. If an STI is not treated in time, it can have serious long-term consequences for your health, such as inflammation, infertility or chronic pain.

That is why it is important to get tested if you have been at risk. This helps protect both you and your sexual partners from further transmission.

What is chlamydia?

Chlamydia is one of the most common STIs in the Netherlands and is caused by the bacterium Chlamydia trachomatis. You can contract the bacterium through unprotected vaginal, oral or anal sex.

The infection most commonly occurs in the:

  • Urethra (in men and women)
  • Cervix (in women)
  • Rectum
  • Throat

Chlamydia often causes no symptoms. Nevertheless, the bacterium can spread unnoticed and cause complications.

In women, chlamydia can cause inflammation of the uterus or fallopian tubes. This can eventually lead to infertility or an ectopic pregnancy.

In men, the bacterium can spread to the epididymis, causing pain and swelling.

During childbirth, an infected mother can transmit chlamydia to her baby, which can lead to eye infections or respiratory infections in the newborn.

Fortunately, chlamydia can be effectively treated with antibiotics. If you have symptoms or have been at risk, get tested. The earlier it is detected and treated, the lower the risk of complications.

About the test result

What does my test result mean?

If you order an STI test from us, you will receive a clear overview of your laboratory results after the sample has been analysed. This shows whether traces of an STI were detected in the sample you submitted. Test results provide a snapshot in time and can be influenced by factors such as diet, lifestyle, medication and the time of sample collection. Abnormal results do not automatically mean that you have a medical condition.

What does a positive result mean?

A positive result means that chlamydia (or another STI) has been detected. This means you are infected and require treatment, both for your own health and to help prevent transmission to others.

We recommend contacting your doctor for further guidance and treatment. You should also inform your recent sexual partners so that they can get tested and receive treatment if necessary.

Frequently Asked Questions Everything about Chlamydia test

Have you recently found out that you have an STI?

It is important to inform your recent sexual partners. This helps prevent them from developing symptoms or complications, passing the infection on to others, or you becoming reinfected if you have sex with them again.

In most cases, it is advisable to inform everyone you have had sex with in the past 6 months. In some situations, it is also a good idea to notify earlier partners, for example if you have not been tested regularly and are unsure who you contracted the STI from. Discuss with your GP or the GGD who you should contact.

How do you tell your sexual partner(s)?

It can be difficult, but there are several ways to make it easier:

  • Personally, by phone or email.
  • Anonymously, through websites such as partnerwaarschuwing.nl. This allows you to let someone know that they should get tested without mentioning your name.
  • With help from a doctor or nurse, for example from your GP or the GGD.

Whichever method you choose, informing your partners is an important step. This allows them to get tested as well and receive treatment if necessary.

This test is performed using a swab.
Please note: not all STIs can be detected with a swab. Sometimes a urine test or finger-prick test is required.

At the moment, STI tests are not reimbursed by your health insurance. If you get tested through the GGD and belong to a risk group, the test is free.

If you go to your GP for an STI test, this is usually charged to your deductible. How much you have to pay yourself depends on your health insurance policy. If you are unsure, contact your health insurer. In almost all cases, getting an STI test through your GP is more expensive than our STI test.

If you do not belong to a risk group or if the GGD is busy, you can still get tested through your GP or anonymously and discreetly through us. Please note that we currently do not have agreements with health insurers.

Reliable results, just like with your GP

With us, you can rely on the same quality and reliability as an STI test performed by your GP or the GGD. We work with certified laboratories that also perform tests for medical institutions. This ensures you receive an accurate, professional, and discreet result, often within just a few days.

Rapid home tests, such as those sometimes available at pharmacies, are unfortunately not always equally reliable. They can produce incorrect results, which may lead to unnecessary concerns or false reassurance. Choose certainty with a high-quality laboratory test.

For privacy reasons, our test kits do not contain any personal information. Therefore, you must first register your test using the unique 10-digit kit code before sending it to the laboratory.

This ensures that your test is correctly linked to your account. Without registration, the laboratory cannot process your test and you will not receive your results.

If you are under 18 years old, we recommend that you do not test yourself for an STI independently at home. In that case, it is best to contact the GGD in your area or your GP. They can provide proper guidance and know exactly what you need.

It is also important to take the window period into account. This is the period between the moment you may have become infected (for example, after unprotected sex) and the moment when an STI can be detected in your body. If you test too early, an infection may still be undetectable even though you are infected. If you have taken a test during this period and the result was negative, get tested again as a precaution after the end of the window period.

According to health organisations such as the GGD, there are certain groups of people who have a higher risk of contracting an STI (sexually transmitted infection).

These include:

  • People who have sex with multiple partners without using condoms
  • People who have been notified by a (former) partner about a possible STI
  • People with symptoms that may indicate an STI, such as itching, discharge, or pain when urinating
  • Men who have sex with men
  • People who work in the sex industry
  • People who use drugs through injection needles
  • People from countries or regions where STIs are more common
  • Women whose partner has sex with men, or whose partner comes from an area with a high prevalence of STIs.

The Centres for Sexual Health (CSGs) monitor the situation regarding STIs in the Netherlands every six months.

The four most common STIs in 2024 were: chlamydia, gonorrhoea, syphilis and HIV.

  • Chlamydia remains the most frequently detected STI, followed by gonorrhoea.
  • Syphilis and HIV occur mainly among men who have sex with men (MSM).
  • Among MSM with symptoms or a notification from a partner, an STI is found more often.

The biggest advantage of this STI home test is convenience: you can perform the test at home, in your own familiar environment. You do not need to visit your GP, the GGD, or another healthcare provider. Within a short time, you will receive your results together with a clear digital laboratory report. If necessary, you can easily share this report with your GP for further steps or medication.

You can test 100% anonymously, at a time that suits you best.

our benefits sti test 12-in-1

Yes, all our tests are completely confidential. Your GP will not receive any information about the test unless you decide to share the results yourself with your GP for further analysis or treatment.

In the Netherlands, you can get tested for STIs for free at the GGD if you are under 25 years old or belong to a risk group. If you are older than 25 and do not belong to a risk group, you can get tested through your GP or use a home test. An STI home test is a convenient way to get tested through an ISO-certified laboratory, but it does not replace the care and expertise of a doctor.

An STI home test does not include physical examinations, personal medication is not prescribed (except in certain cases within the Netherlands), and no extensive aftercare is provided. If you receive a positive result, it is important to take your results to your GP for further examination, advice, and possible treatment.

If you have multiple sexual partners or are at risk of HIV or other STIs, it is advisable to get tested at least once every six months.

If you receive a warning from a (former) partner or notice symptoms that may indicate an STI, get tested as soon as possible once the window period has passed after your last sexual contact. The window period is the period between the moment of infection and the moment when an STI can be reliably detected by a test.

It is also recommended to get tested after unprotected sex with a new partner, for your own health and the health of others.

You receive your test results with a clear explanation and a digital laboratory report. With this report, you can visit your GP for further treatment.

If your test result is positive, we recommend contacting your GP or another doctor for the appropriate treatment.

By practising safe sex, you reduce the risk of contracting an STI (sexually transmitted infection). Safe sex includes, among other things, always using a condom during vaginal or anal sex, and possibly using a dental dam during oral sex. It is also important to clean sex toys properly, especially if they are used by multiple people.

Condoms and dental dams provide good protection against STIs such as chlamydia, gonorrhoea, trichomoniasis and mycoplasma genitalium. However, they do not provide 100% protection: there is always a small risk of infection, especially if the condom is not used correctly or tears.

Some STIs, such as genital warts, herpes and syphilis, can also be transmitted through skin-to-skin contact outside the area covered by a condom. Pubic lice and scabies are also spread through direct physical contact. In these cases, a condom or dental dam does not always provide sufficient protection.

HIV, hepatitis B, hepatitis C and syphilis can be transmitted through blood or other bodily fluids, such as semen, vaginal fluids or breast milk. Infection can occur through open wounds or small breaks in the skin or mucous membranes, for example during sex or by sharing contaminated needles. Hugging, sneezing, coughing or sharing cutlery does not pose a risk.

Condom use greatly reduces the risk of transmitting these viruses. Additional protection against HIV is possible through PrEP (a pill taken before potential exposure) or PEP (after a possible exposure). A vaccine is available for hepatitis B. In the Netherlands, among others, men who have sex with men (MSM), sex workers and children born after 1 January 2011 can receive free vaccination.

If you have symptoms that may indicate an STI, or if you have had sex with someone who you know or suspect has an STI, get tested, even if you used a condom. Some STIs do not cause symptoms but can still be transmitted.

Our STI self-test kits with laboratory analysis are safe and reliable. They are specifically approved for home use and carefully tested by our ISO-certified laboratory. The results from a self-collected sample are just as reliable as those from a GP, hospital, clinic, or nurse.

We only offer medical tests that have been extensively checked and validated. Each sample is analysed in a laboratory with ISO 15189 accreditation, the quality standard in the medical field. This ensures you receive an accurate and reliable result.

We ensure that the results of a test you perform at home are just as reliable as when the test is carried out by a GP, the GGD, a hospital, clinic, or laboratory. The use of non-approved medical tests is prohibited. Therefore, we only use tests that comply with the applicable laws and regulations.

Medical specialists carefully review all results and are available to answer your questions.

You do not need to visit your GP; you can perform this STI test completely at home.

If your result is positive, or if you have symptoms despite a negative result, we recommend contacting your GP. Feel free to bring your test results with you; your GP can then provide further advice and guidance where needed.

No, in most cases it is not. Not everyone is eligible for a free STI test at the GGD. The GGD provides free STI care to people who have an increased risk of an STI, such as young people under a certain age, men who have sex with men, sex workers, or people who have been notified by a partner. If you do not meet the GGD criteria, view and order an STI test at Labtest.nl. Check with your local GGD to see if you qualify for a free test. Please note that there may be waiting times at the GGD.
