Profile

Sexually active under 25s living in Suffolk are being encouraged to find out if they have a sexually transmitted infection (STI) called Chlamydia and to take a test every year or every time they change sexual partners.

Most people won’t know that they have it (up to 1 in 12 young people do) as there may be no signs or symptoms. 

It is serious as it can cause long term health problems such as infertility (unable to have a baby).

Testing is simple and painless - no unpleasant examination or swabs, and if needed, it is easily treated with antibiotics.

Remember - using condoms helps to prevent pregnancy and STIs.

How do I get screened?

All testing for under 25s is FREE and handled in the strictest of confidence.

If you are under 16, you can still get a self Chlamydia test but you need to visit one of our community clinics, or see your practice nurse at your GP practice. Both options are confidential.
