Chlamydia testing in Carritwohill

Chlamydia is one of the most prevalent sexually transmitted infections in Carritwohill. It is easily transmitted from one partner to another during sexual intercourse. If left untreated, it can lead to long-term health complications and may potentially cause infertility and other health issues.

You can get Chlamydia in your genitals, throat (if you have performed oral sex), rectum (if you have received anal sex), or eyes (if infected body fluids come in contact with your eyes). It is essential to test each area that might have been exposed.

Call our helpline to book your Chlamydia test at our Carritwohill clinic. During your call, our friendly sexual health advisors will help you choose the test or screen that best suits your needs.

How often should I get tested for STIs?

If you are sexually active, Better2Know recommends regular STI testing every 3 to 6 months. Specifically, you should get tested if:

• You are considering starting a sexual relationship with a new partner
• You have had unprotected vaginal, anal, or oral sex with a new partner
• You have a sexual relationship with multiple partners
• You have symptoms of an STI
• A previous sexual partner has told you they have an STI
• You are concerned about your sexual health

Getting tested for an STI is easy. Only one, two or three samples are required to test for a wide range of infections.

Can I get an STI if my partner and I did not have sex?

You can still contract an STI even if you do not engage in full sexual intercourse.

The Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV) can be spread through skin-to-skin contact with a sore or blister.

STIs, like HIV, Hepatitis B, and Hepatitis C, can be spread through blood-to-blood contact. This includes needle stick injuries, using unsterilised tattooing equipment, or sharing needles for intravenous drug use.
