Chlamydia Screening Sites in Kingston
The National Chlamydia Screening Programme has discovered that 1 in 10 people under the age of 25 who have had a test are infected.
Most people with chlamydia have no symptoms, so they may not know they have the infection. If left untreated, chlamydia can spread to other parts of the body and this can lead to long term health problems, such as infertility (not being able to have a baby) and pain, especially in the abdomen (area below your belly button). Thankfully, chlamydia is very easy to treat with antibiotics.
