understanding my blood test

understanding my blood test

i am in france at the moment and got tested for everything.  I was surprised when i only had a blood test, as when i have got tested before i had a urine test and swob as well.  

anyway, my chlamydia blood test came back as follows

IGG <1/16
IGA 1/128

i was told i was tested positive from this by the doctor, however i have read on the net that blood tests dont work for this.

I had Chlamydia about 2 years ago, if that makes a difference.

Hi

You are correct, blood test for chlamydia are useless.  Disregard this chlamydia test.

Please go and have a urine test for chlamydia.  The antibodies detected in your blood are from your infection 2 years ago.
