it actually only take a day for it to become positive after an infection, but we say 7 days post to be

Safe driving for teens
Safe sex

How is it tested? I'm pretty sure my Dr. did not send a smear of the

Abnormal discharge from the nipple
Ear discharge
Eye burning - itching and discharge
Nasal discharge
Nipple discharge - abnormal
Urethral discharge culture
Vaginal discharge
off. She told me the
pap
Pap smear
Pap smears and cervical cancer
smear would check for it. Everything I've read online says it does not check for Chlamydia.
