# Chlamydia trachomatis, Rectal Swab, NAA

> This test looks for the specific bacteria that cause chlamydia using a swab from the rectum. It helps confirm whether an infection is present in this area, which is useful because rectal infections often happen without any obvious symptoms. This screening helps rule out chlamydia as a cause of rectal irritation or discharge. However, this test only checks for chlamydia in the rectum and does not detect other sexually transmitted infections or infections in other parts of the body.
