Clamydia Screening Online
Chlamydia is currently one of the most common sexually transmitted infections. However, about half of all men and three-quarters of all women who have chlamydia have no symptoms and don't know that they have it.
The Chlamydia Screening Programme offers Chlamydia testing to under 25 year olds throughout the whole Island. Access to a Chlamydia test is now simpler and easier, with lots of different venues offering the test, which is as simple as peeing in a pot.
