What's all the fuss about?
Chlamydia is big because 1 in
10 of those under 25s tested, have it. Chlamydia is a bacteria
that affects the sexual organs. Chlamydia is a sexually transmitted
infection or STI for short.The problem is that most people have no signs or
symptoms. So most of you wouldn’t know
you have it.
What
is the Chlamydia Screening Programme?
The Government has set up
a national screening programme to encourage young people
to have a Chlamydia test and get treatment if they need it.
