What is Chlamydia?
Chlamydia is the most common bacterial sexually transmitted infection in the UK. Chlamydia is often called the 'silent epidemic' as most people don't know they have it because typically there are no symptoms. It can stay undetected for months or years, and left untreated the infection can spread and cause serious long term problems that can affect fertility and sexual health in both men and women

What is the test for chlamydia?
Testing for chlamydia is by a Nucleic Acid Amplification Technique (NAAT) test, such as the Clamelle chlamydia test. The test is simple to do; a urine sample is sent off to the laboratory. The Clamelle Chlamydia Test Kit is available from participating pharmacies.

When should you get tested for Chlamydia?
You should get tested, whatever your age and sex, in particular if:

• You are considering starting a family and want to check you have no Chlamydia infection that could affect your fertility.
• You’ve had unprotected sex and are worried you may have Chlamydia.
• You change sexual partner.
