Chlamydia Testing for Lalitpur Patients
Thamel Clinic in Kathmandu serves patients from across valley — including Lalitpur and Patan — with confidential sexual health testing. The short distance makes specialist-level STI testing accessible without the Lalitpur-area search for a service that may not exist locally.
Chlamydia testing is NAAT on correct specimen: ~70% of infections in women are asymptomatic, window is ~1–2 weeks, and site-matched sampling (urine for urethral; throat and rectal swabs where exposure warrants) is what makes test cover actual exposure rather than a partial answer.
The pathway for Lalitpur patients is same confidential standard: consultation Rs. 450, correct specimens, interpreted results, and treatment plus partner care where positive — complete visit at the Kathmandu clinic.
The Testing
NAAT on correct specimen is diagnostic standard — ~95% sensitive and specific. First-catch urine for urethral exposure; a cervical or vaginal swab for female genital tract; throat and rectal swabs where exposure involved those sites — ~85–90% of extragenital chlamydia is off what urine covers.
The ~1–2 week window applies — earlier testing produces an inconclusive result rather than a reassuring one; for a specific recent exposure, timing is discussed at consultation.

After the Test
A positive is treated — doxycycline-based course — with partner management (partners tested site-matched and treated) and retesting at ~3 months where reinfection risk applies.
