Cornwall Chlamydia Screening

WELCOME TO THE CORNWALL CHLAMYDIA SCREENING SERVICE


Chlamydia is the most commonly diagnosed sexually transmitted infection (STI) in the UK, affecting both men and women.

 

Most people who have it will have no symptoms, without a test you will probably not know anything is wrong.

 

If you or your sexual partner are left untreated it can cause infertility (not being able to have children) and long term pelvic pain.

 

If you are sexually active and under 25 you should be tested for chlamydia annually and 2 weeks after a new sexual partner.


The test for chlamydia is simple – just one quick and painless test that you do yourself. You do NOT need to be examined!
