Chlamydia Screening
Under 25 - get yourself checked with a free chlamydia screening test
Chlamydia is a common bacterial sexually transmitted infection, affecting around 1 in 10 young men and women and can cause serious health problems if left untreated.
Most people who are tested can expect not to have Chlamydia, but there's no harm in checking!
Across the county there are a number of venues that offer free testing or enable you to collect a free and totally confidential self testing kit allowing you to complete it in the privacy of your own home; if you prefer we can send you one in the post, or give us a call 01305 816208.
All that is required is a small urine sample for men, or a self taken swab for women; results are given within two weeks and can be received either by email, post, phone or sms.
If positive, treatment will be offered which is a simple course of anti-biotics.
