• Chlamydia is the most common STI in the UK and often has no symptoms.
• It is recommended that people of all ages are tested for chlamydia whenever they have a new sexual partner.
• If you are under 25 years old it is also advisable to have a routine test for chlamydia once a year.
• Please allow two weeks after a risk before testing for chlamydia – testing too quickly may not detect a new infection.
