Some symptoms of Chlamydia
Although the sexually transmitted infection Chlamydia is now one of the most common of the diseases caused through sexual contact, few if any know what to look for or to expect if they have the infection. Chlamydia symptoms usually appear between 1 and 3 weeks after exposure but may not emerge until much later. Chlamydia is known as the ‘silent’ disease as in many people it produces no symptoms. It is estimated that 70-75% of women infected with Chlamydia have no symptoms and a significant proportion of men also have no symptoms.
Women may see an increase in vaginal discharge caused by an inflamed cervix, the need to urinate more frequently, or pain whilst passing urine. Men are more likely to notice Chlamydia symptoms than women; these can include a white or cloudy and watery discharge from the penis that may stain underwear and can cause a burning sensation and/or pain when passing urine. The only sure way to know if you have Chlamydia, or any other STD, is to have a test at one of the many STD test centres that are located throughout London and other major cities such as Manchester and Birmingham for example.

What are the symptoms of HIV and AIDS?
It is not possible to reliably diagnose HIV infection or AIDS based on symptoms alone. A person can have the infection and feel perfectly well, but their immune systems may nevertheless be damaged. It is important to remember that once someone is infected they can pass on HIV right away, even if they feel healthy. The only way to know for sure whether a person is infected with HIV is for them to have an HIV test.
The standard HIV test looks for antibodies in a person’s blood. Arranging an HIV test at one of the testing centres in London is straightforward and simple. Importantly, the test for HIV and for any other sexually transmitted infection is completely confidential and the result will be given to you quickly. The test will detect if you have any of these antibodies, which are the body’s response to an infection. So if a person has antibodies to HIV in their blood, it means they have been infected with HIV.
How is HIV transmitted?
HIV is a virus that damages human immune cells. It weakens the immune system and, without treatment, leads most infected people to develop AIDS. Like all viruses, HIV infects the cells of a living organism in order to make new copies of itself. HIV can only be transmitted in certain ways and the purpose of this page is to explain how you can and can’t become infected. HIV cannot live for long outside the body, so to be infected you need to allow some body fluid from an infected person to get inside your body.
The most common ways that people become infected with HIV are by having sexual intercourse with an infected partner, or through injecting drugs using a needle or syringe that has been used by someone who is infected. There is no cure for HIV and treatment is carried out through the use of antiviral drugs. It is important to ensure that treatment is started quickly before the infection can become full blown AIDS. Therefore it is important that should you believe that you may be infected, a test for HIV is undertaken as soon as possible so the antiviral can be administered.
