Chlamydia Testing in Churchill

Chlamydia is one of the most common STIs in Churchill.  It is easily passed on from one partner to another during sex.  If left untreated it can cause long term health problems and may lead to infertility and other health issues.

A simple urine sample will test for Chlamydia in your genital area. Your Chlamydia test result will be available in Churchill in just a few days. If you do test positive, we will help you to access the treatment you need to get better.

Is it true that some STIs have no symptoms?

Yes. Often STIs do not present any symptoms such as itching, soreness when urinating or during sex, flu-like symptoms, or unusual discharge. Symptoms, if they do appear, can vary between different people and different STIs. Some common STI infections such as Chlamydia can present no symptoms at all. Around 90% of men and 70% of women who are infected with Chlamydia will never show any symptoms. 

Because of this, it is important that you test regularly for STIs in Churchill. Regular testing at your local Better2Know clinic in Churchill will provide you with the health information you need to keep yourself, and your sexual partners safe from symptomless STIs.

STIs such as Chlamydia, Gonorrhoea, HIV, Syphilis, Herpes, Hepatitis A, B and C, Mycoplasma, and Trichomonas are just a few common STIs that can present with no symptoms in the early stages of infection. No matter where you are, even in Churchill, the risk of catching one of these infections is high.  Regular testing is the only way to protect your sexual health.
