IGG C TRACHOMATIS
Hi, I recently did a STD/STI Test, my C TRACHOMATIS IGG reading was 4.8 but was interpreted as negative by the testing lab, my doctor said it’s under 21. My question is, what does the 4.8 reading mean? Does it mean that I had the infection at some time in the past for it to show 4.8? Like a past infection? Does the 4.8 mean that there is still traces in my blood? My doctor also never put me on any antibiotics and I have never taken anything before for a Chlamydia infection?

Hi, testing for chlamydia is more common with a urine test as having a blood test only shows some antibodies are present. Chlamydia doesnot show up in the blood. You might ask you doctor about this to be clear.
