STOP PRESS: The surgery is a part of a National campaign to increase the awareness of chlamydia, and to try to persuade all 16-24 year olds to have ANNUAL SCREENING

Why should I worry about chlamydia?

• Because it's common.
• Because it often causes no symptoms.
• Because you might have it.
• Because it's EASY TO GET RID OF.
• Because it can cause long-term problems with fertility and health if you don't.

What's the test

• The chlamydia test is a simple kit
• You can do it in the surgery or bring it back later
• The result is PRIVATE and will be emailed to you or texted to your mobile phone
• The treatment is usually a one-off dose of four antibiotic tablets
• Nobody else will know unless YOU tell them

Who needs a chlamydia test?

• Everyone who's ever had sex should think about it
• If you're sexually active now you should get tested AT LEAST ONCE A YEAR.

Isn't it just promiscuous people who get it? I've only had one partner.

• You're more likely to get it if you have more partners BUT
• You can get it if you've only had one partner, if they had a partner before you.. When you have sex with someone you're linked to everyone they ever had sex with AND everyone they ever had sex with and so forth. So....
• Even if you've only had one partner you could still have chlamydia.
• It's easy to treat. It's not so easy to live with.

Set your mind at rest - get a test
