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 does my test result show?

Your test is analyzed for genital chlamydia and genital gonorrhea. Read more about chlamydia here and read more about gonorrhea here.

If you are worried or have questions about any of these, please contact a healthcare centre, a youth guidance centre or an STI/STD clinic.
