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.
