- What is chlamydia? Chlamydia is one of the most common sexually transmitted infections (STIs) in the UK, with over 200,000 people testing positive each year. It is a bacterial infection that passed on through unprotected sex (sex without a condom) or contact with infected genital fluids (semen or vaginal fluid), and is particularly common in sexually active teenagers and young adults. We know it can be embarrassing getting help for an STI but it really important you receive treatment as soon as possible. It is most often symptomless but if left untreated it can cause complications in men and women. It is very easy to test for it and can be treated with antibiotics. It is important to contact anyone you have had sex with in the last 3 months to let them know, so they can get treatment too and reduce the chance of further cases of chlamydia. What are the symptoms of chlamydia? If you have unprotected sex, it is important you do not wait for signs of chlamydia before you find out if you have it. This is because many people show no physical symptoms so the only way to avoid the long term side effects of chlamydia is to get tested and treated. If you do present with symptoms the may appear 1-3 weeks after having unprotected sex and the symptoms can include; pain when peeing unusual discharge from the vagina, penis or bottom in women, pain in the tummy, bleeding after sex and bleeding between periods (abdominal) pain in men, pain and swelling in the testicles If you think you're at risk of having a sexually transmitted infection (STI) or have any symptoms of chlamydia, visit a GP, community contraceptive service or local genitourinary medicine (GUM) clinic to get tested. Treatment Chlamydia can usually be treated effectively with antibiotics. The two most commonly prescribed antibiotics for chlamydia are: Doxycycline 100mg Capsules 14 Tablets ONE tablet to be taken TWICE a day for 7 days Azithromycin 500mg Tablets
