Chlamydia (Kla-mid-ee-a)...

...is the commonest sexually transmitted infection. You do not have to have had a lot of sexual partners to catch it. 1 in 10 people under 25 years of age have Chlamydia and most do not have any signs or symptoms. It affects both men and women. If left untreated it can cause long term health problems in both males and females.

Finding out if you have Chlamydia is simple.

• Call in to a screening site and provide a urine specimen.
  
• Or ask for a free post pack to be sent to you.

If you do have Chlamydia, treatment is easy for most people, just four tablets.

All screening and treatment is free and completely confidential.
