Chlamydia is a common STD

When you are young and we have all been there, you are convinced that “it can never happen to me”, we have all thought or said that haven’t we? The same can be said of the sexually active young people, many with more than one partner, they possibly think that they will not get an STD. What is a fact is that Chlamydia is the most common sexually transmitted infection in the United Kingdom, it often shows no symptoms and so many may not know they have got it.

Any person that is sexually active, particularly those under 25 years of age, should understand the risks of having Chlamydia. Getting tested to put your mind at rest is the best way forward and testing clinics are sited throughout London and other major cities, the test is quick and simple and they are carried out in complete confidence, anonymously if it makes you feel easier, once the infection has been diagnosed, it is treatable.
