Chlamydia
Chlamydia is the most common STI in the UK. Rates are highest in young people, with 1 in 10 sexually active people under 25 infected. Most people with Chlamydia have no symptoms. If it is left undiagnosed and untreated, Chlamydia can cause long-term problems including infertility and pain.

It's important to test yourself every year and whenever you have sex with someone new.

The Avon NHS Chlamydia Screening Programme provides free, confidential self-test kits to people under 25 years old. The test is simple, painless and you do not need to be examined. Chlamydia is usually easy to treat with tablets.

Chlamydia Screening is FREE and CONFIDENTIAL in Bath and North East Somerset.

The test kits are available from the surgery (in the ground floor toilet or ask reception) all sexual health services, school and college nurses, youth workers and many pharmacies. A test can also be posted to you. Visit the Check it Out! website to request one.

Remember ... you should never feel pressured into having sex. It should be a decision that both you and your partner make together. It is illegal to have sex if you are under 16. Health professionals can provide confidential sexual health information, advice and contraception to you whatever your age if have decided to have sex.
