If you had a negative chlamydia test three months before positive does this mean contracted it within those months?

A negative chlamydia test three months before a positive test result could indicate that you contracted the infection within those three months. However, it is also possible that you had the infection during the time of the negative test but it was not detected due to factors such as low levels of bacteria or improper sample collection. It is important to consult a healthcare professional for proper diagnosis and treatment if you have concerns about chlamydia or other sexually transmitted infections.
