You may run tests to find out if the bacteria that cause Chlamydia are in your body. A urine test will be taken. You may also have your cervix swabbed if you are female, while your urethra, where urine flows from, may be swabbed if you are male.

Limit the amount of new sexual partners you have. The more people you have sexual intercourse with, the greater possibility of being exposed to the disease. In addition, you should use a condom during each sexual encounter.
