Chlamydia
Did you know Chlamydia....
- Is the most common STI amongst young women and young men under 25?
- Is caused by bacteria?
- Can be treated with antibiotics?
Most people don't realise they have chlamydia because they don't get any symptoms.
Testing for Chlamydia is FREE and couldn’t be simpler!
The National Chlamydia Screening Programme recommends that all sexually active young people under 25 years of age have a chlamydia test at least every year or each time they have unprotected sex, regardless of whether you have any signs or symptoms. All you have to do is provide a sample of urine in a pot (‘pee in a pot’) and the test can be performed in minutes. There is no pain involved and you have a lot to gain from testing. If you do test positive for Chlamydia it can be easily treated with antibiotics.
