About Screening Centres

Chlamydia screening is free, simple and painless. You do not have to be examined. It is confidential too which means we won't ell anyone you've been tested, not even your GP, without your consent.

Both men and women can provide a urine (wee) sample.

The test will only tell you if you have Chlamydia, it won't tell you about other infections.

You will be asked to fill in a form. We need to have a way of contacting you with the result. This can be your mobile number, home phone number or address.

You can be screened in lots of places: youth centres, college, contraceptive clinics. Click for a list of sites.

You can also be sent a pack which his returned to us free post. Click to request a pack or text bclear followed by your name and address to 80010, or you can phone or email us.

After your test, the result is sent from the laboratory to your local Chlamydia screening office. They will arrange for you (and only you) to be notified of your result by either text, phone or post - you decide.

They will also send details of your result, but not your name to the Health Protection Agency. They count the number of people with Chlamydia so they can monitor the situation to make sure that people get the best treatment.
