Chlamydia is one of the most common STIs in Maryborough. 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 Maryborough in just a few days. If you do test positive, we will help you to access the treatment you need to get better.
Chlamydia often does not have any symptoms. The only way to know if you are infected is to get tested in your nearest clinic in Maryborough.

What is the difference between and STD and an STI?
Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs) and Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs) are ultimately the same thing. The term STI has become more commonly used, as the word infection is not as daunting as the word disease. By using the word infection in place of the word disease, people are encouraged to get tested more regularly and to not be afraid of the result.
If you develop symptoms such as itching, soreness when urinating or blisters on the genital area, these are good indicators that you have an STI. Ignoring these symptoms can increase your chances of further serious health complications.
That is why regular testing in Maryborough is imperative especially after a new sexual encounter. Better2Know’s wide range of sexual health testing in Maryborough will provide you with the information you need, whether you have an STI, STD or even nothing!
