Private Chlamydia Antibody Testing in London
South Kensington Medical & Dental provides private chlamydia antibody screening at our CQC-registered clinic in South Kensington. This blood-based test detects antibodies produced in response to Chlamydia trachomatis infection, helping to identify current or past exposure to the bacteria.
The test requires a venous blood sample, with results typically returned within 3 days. This test is priced at £123 (includes £50 phlebotomy fee). Unlike PCR-based tests that detect active infection, antibody screening measures your immune response and can be particularly useful for fertility investigations.
All samples are processed at UKAS-accredited laboratories and results are communicated confidentially. No GP referral is required to attend this appointment.
Understanding Chlamydia Antibody Testing
Chlamydia antibody testing measures immunoglobulin levels (IgG, IgA, and IgM) in your blood that indicate exposure to Chlamydia trachomatis. This can include serovars A-K and L1-L3, providing a broad screening profile.
This test is particularly relevant for individuals undergoing fertility assessment, as past chlamydial infection is a recognised cause of tubal damage. It can also differentiate between species, including C. trachomatis, C. pneumoniae, and C. psittaci.
