Why Test for Chlamydia?
It is important to test for Chlamydia trachomatis in the early stages of
the infection as leaving it untreated can cause many complications.
Chlamydia is the most common STI (sexually transmitted infection) in
Europe.
This test detects the most common form of Chlamydia which is caused by
the bacteria Chlamydia trachomatis, this is transmitted during unsafe
sexual intercourse.
Approximately 1 in 12 individuals find they test positive for Chlamydia!
Chlamydia is most common among women aged 16-25, you should test once a
year if you are sexually active or when they change partner as chlamydia
is highly contagious.
There is a 70% chance of getting the infection if you have unsafe sex
with an infected person.
Once you have been infected and treated you are even more likely to
become re-infected.
Chlamydia quite often does not show any symptoms that you would be aware
of, in fact you may not even know if you have it, however if Chlamydia
is left untreated it can lead to serious health problems such as
infertility!
If you find you are infected, you don't have to worry as Chlamydia can
be easily treated with a free course of antibiotics available from your
doctor or GP.
Quick detection and treatment will prevent long term health problems.
