Chlamydia

Chlamydia is the most common sexually transmitted infection (STI) in the UK and is most common in under 25s. Chlamydia may not have any obvious signs or symptoms. If left untreated it can cause serious health problems and can result in infertility.

However Chlamydia is easy to treat and cure.

The test for Chlamydia is very simple and will either be done by a urine test or a swab test.

If you have a test for Chlamydia you will normally receive your results within 2 weeks of being tested. Results are normally sent to your personal mobile via text. Nothing will be sent home unless you request it.

  • If your result comes back NEGATIVE this means you DO NOT have an infection at this time.
  • If your result comes back POSITIVE, you will be contacted via your preferred method and given advice about treatment and what to do next. The treatment is FREE.
  • Advice will also be given about sexual partners and sexual activity.

If you have no symptoms and are aged 16 and over you can request a FREE home test kit using the link below.
