Chlamydia

Chlamydia is a sexually transmitted infection (STI, STD) caused by bacteria called Chlamydia trachomatis. It is one of the most common sexually acquired bacterial infections in the UK.

Have I got the condition?

A urine sample for women is usually sufficient. As part of general screening for other diseases, swabs from the urethra, cervix or vagina may be taken. There is also an option to have a home test kit, which allow you to take your own sample and send it off to the laboratory. You best advised to have tests and treatment if your sexual partner has been found to have Chlamydia or other sexually transmitted diseases.

How is it treated?

Once Chlamydia is confirmed, you will be given an appropriate antibiotic. This will be tailored to your needs, especially if there are signs and symptoms of early or late complications of the infection.

What are the costs?

The costs are set and agreed between Insurance companies and One Stop Clinics. A Self paying patient will be advised of the likely costs, including consultation and investigations, beforehand.
