Chlamydia Screening

Chlamydia is the most commonly diagnosed sexually transmitted infection (STI) in the UK, affecting both men & women. Most people who have it will have no symptons but if untreated, it can cause infertility & long-term pelvic pain. If you are sexually active and under 25 you should be tested for chlamydia annually. The test for chlamydia is simple – just one quick & painless test you can do yourself. You don’t have to be examined! Just call at the surgery to pick up your testing kit or if make an appointment to see the practice nurse.
