The American Diabetes Association (ADA) recommends that everyone above the age of 45 should be tested for diabetes. If the results are normal, a person must be re-tested every three years. Testing should be conducted at earlier ages and more frequently in people who are at higher risk of the disease.
The most commonly used diagnostic test for chlamydia is the swab test which involves swabbing of the vagina in women. In men, testing of the urine is done. If there’s a chance the infection is present in the anus or throat, swabbing of these portions may be done too.
Chlamydia trachomatis is caused by Chlamydia trachomatis bacteria. It generally spreads through vaginal, oral and anal sex. A child can get it from a mother during delivery also.

Chlamydia complications generally affect women more than men. In women, untreated Chlamydia infection can spread into the uterus or fallopian tubes and cause complications such as pelvic inflammatory disease.
