Got a Question

How do I take the test?
The test is very easy to take. You simply need to pee in the pot that comes with the testing kit, and return that with the completed form in the freepost envelope provided to the laboratory the same day.
What is chlamydia?
Chlamydia is the most common bacteria sexually transmitted infection. At least one in ten sexually active people under the age of 25 will have chlamydia - and you may not even know you have it because most people do not have any symptoms.
Chlamydia can be easily treated with a short course of antibiotics.
So get yourself tested just to b-sure.
How do I get chlamydia?
Because chlamydia is a sexually transmitted infection, it is spread by having sexual activity. This includes oral sex. It affects both men and women.
How do I know if I have chlamydia?
Many people don't know! Very often, there are no symptoms or side effects of chlamydia. Over 70% of girls and 50% of boys have no symptoms. However, some people do have symptoms.
For women, these might include:
  • Unusual vaginal discharge
  • Pain when peeing or having sex
  • Bleeding after sex or between periods
  • Lower abdominal (tummy) pain
For men, the symptoms might include:
  • A discharge or itching from the top of the penis
  • Pain or burning when peeing
  • Painful swelling of the testicles (balls)
Remember if you have any of the above symptoms you should arrange an appointment as soon as possible with your local genito-urinary medicine clinic (GUM Clinic) for full screening. Click here to find your nearest
What do I do if I think I have chlamydia?
Do not worry. You can contact a special NHS screening office (b-sure) who can send you a test in the post so you can quickly and easily find out if you have chlamydia.
There are also a number of places in your area where you can also take the test.
You can click here to find out where your nearest clinic is. Or click here to request a test directly from this website.
You can also go to your local GP or your nearest GUM Clinic.
What happens if I do have chlamydia?
Don't panic - if your test is positive a health adviser from b-sure will contact you to let you know. This is completely confidential and we won't pass your test results on to anyone else.
Can it be treated?
Yes. Chlamydia is very quick, easy and simple to treat with a short course of antibiotics. Your treatment will be arranged for you by the health adviser when they give you your results.
You must not have sex (even with a condom) for 7 days after you and your partner have been treated.
If you have a partner it is important that they have a test and receive treatment at the same time.
We know this might be difficult for you to talk about with them - which is why our health advisers can do this for you.
How do I avoid getting chlamydia?
The best way to avoid the risk of getting chlamydia is to use condoms every time you have sex. This reduces the risk of you catching any sexually transmitted infection and avoiding pregnancy.
Every time you have a new sexual partner, you should have a chlamydia test. An annual test is also recommended.
