How is chlamydia tested - by urine sample or by internal exam and swab?

Swab, and in certain circumstances a blood test to see if you have ever had it.

If you're a man, a penile swab apparently, which is as much fun as it sounds (according to a boyfriend I had, um, at the time).

apparently a swob is 70 % and the blood tests check the other 30 % to catch any surpluss, according to my gyno how did a swob test on teh cervix. didn't cost anything for me to have it done.
