A simple urine sample will test for Chlamydia in your genital area. Your Chlamydia test result will be available in Santarém in just a few days. If you do test positive, we will help you to access the treatment you need to get better.

Chlamydia often does not have any symptoms. The only way to know if you are infected is to get tested in your nearest clinic in Santarém.
