Chlamydia Testing in La Molina

Chlamydia is one of the most common STIs in La Molina.  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 La Molina 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 La Molina.

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 La Molina. Regular testing at your local Better2Know clinic in La Molina will provide you with the health information you need to keep yourself, and your sexual partners safe from symptomless STIs.

No matter where you are, even in La Molina, the risk of catching one of these infections is high.  Regular testing is the only way to protect your sexual health.
