Chlamydia Testing in Seaford

Chlamydia is one of the most common STIs in Seaford.  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.

You can catch Chlamydia in your genital area, throat (if you gave oral sex) or your rectum (if you received anal sex).  You will need to test each area that might have Chlamydia.

A simple urine sample will test for Chlamydia in your genital area. Your Chlamydia test result will be available in Seaford 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 Seaford.

What are the symptoms of STIs?

Many STIs do not present symptoms in the early and sometimes even later stages of infection. Symptoms will also often vary between infection and person. Regular testing in Seaford with your local Better2Know clinic is the only way to keep yourself and your partners safe from STIs.

Some signs of an STI infection are:

• pain when urinating or during sex

• lumps or lesions on the genital area

• unusual discharge

• pain in the lower back and kidney area

• flu-like symptoms

• swelling of the penis and/or testicles

• sore throat

• body rashes

If you have one or any of these symptoms, you should test right away. You can book your appointment quickly and easily with Better2Know at one of our many clinics in Seaford. With our flexible and available booking options you can get your test and results within just a few days.

Can I still have sex if I have an STI?

If you test positive, it is recommended that you stop all sexual activity until you have completed your full course of antibiotics prescribed for your infection. You might also want to have follow up tests as recommended by Better2Know or your doctor, and not have sex until these come back negative.

If you have tested positive for Herpes, HIV or HPV you should consult with your Better2Know doctor about best practice for safe sex as these viruses require different management and treatment and may need long term follow up testing.   If you do have sex in this time, be sure to practice safer sex and let your partner know the risks.

STIs in Seaford are passed from person to person through bodily fluids. Although generally safe, kissing can also pass on STIs such as Herpes and HPV. With that in mind, it is always best to stop all sexual activity until you have finished your course of treatment.
