Frequently Asked Questions

Are the tests accurate?

The tests are just as accurate as the tests you would take at a healthcare centre. We use the same labs and methods as healthcare centers, youth guidance centers and STI/STD-clinics. Please note that testing too early after unprotected sex may give a false negative test result. Therefore, you should wait at least a week before taking the test.

When should I take the test?

You should wait for at least one week before taking the test if you have had unprotected sex. Though, if you know for sure that the person you had sex with is infected with chlamydia, you should take the test as soon as possible.

What should I do if the test result is positive?

If your test shows that you are infected with chlamydia you will be instructed to visit a health care provider for examination and contact tracing. This can be done at different types of healthcare centers, depending on which region you belong to, for example at a regular healthcare centre, a youth guidance centre or an STI/STD clinic. Some regions offer digital services.

Chlamydia is included in the Communicable Diseases Act, and is thereby subjected to mandatory contact tracing. This means you are obliged to participate in contact tracing if your test result is positive.

If you are positive for gonorrhea, the STI/STD clinic will contact you for further examination and treatment. You might have to leave additional sample(s).

What if I lose my personal code?

For reasons of confidentiality, we do not offer information about individual test results via email. Please contact us if you have lost your personal code.

What is tested and what does the test include?

Your test is analyzed for chlamydia and gonorrhea in the genital area. The test is performed using a urine sample (for people with a penis) or a vaginal sample (for people with a vagina) and only covers these areas.

If you have had sex where an infection could have been transmitted to the throat, rectum, or eye, these areas need to be tested separately through a healthcare provider. You cannot test these areas through klamydia.se.

The test does not screen for other sexually transmitted infections (STIs). If you are concerned about other STIs, you can contact a youth clinic, a sexual health and STI clinic, or a primary care centre.

Can you tell from the packaging that I ordered a chlamydia test?

The packaging is discreet without any logos or references to Klamydia.se.

Can I order a test kit to someone else's address?

Yes, you can. Simply state the address to which you want the test kit to be delivered when placing the order. Make sure that you fill in the name of the resident under "c/o" if you are not registered at the address.

Can I order a test kit if I live outside of the listed regions?

No, unfortunately you cannot order a test kit to an address situated outside the regions stated on this website.

Can I give my test kit to someone else?

No, the test kit is personal, and can only be used by the person who placed the order. If someone else has used a test which you ordered - Please contact us.
