When can I do my test after possibly being exposed to Chlamydia?
If you are displaying symptoms, you should book in to see a doctor immediately.
You can book in for a general sexual health check up at any and if you think you have been exposed. If you are asymptomatic, the results may not be 100% accurate if you book in early than 1 week after exposure as the incubation period for chlamydia is up to 21 days. If you do a test within that time, our nurse may advise you to come back for retesting at a later date for peace of mind.

What is Chlamydia?
Chlamydia is a bacterial infection (chlamydia trachomatis) which is usually caught from having sex with someone who is infected.
It is spread through infected genital fluids (semen and vaginal fluids) and can be transmitted by vaginal, anal and oral sex, touching genitals and through sharing sex toys. An infected mother can also transmit the infection to her baby during pregnancy.
What are the symptoms of Chlamydia?
Common symptoms of chlamydia include
Pain when urinating, unusual discharge from the penis, vagina or anus, women may feel pain in their tummy, bleeding after sex and bleeding between periods, men may experience painful or swollen testicals. However, around 70% of women and 50% of men experience no symptoms at all, which is why getting tested regularly is essential.
How does Chlamydia affect the body?
In the long term, if left untreated chlamydia can cause pelvic inflammatory disease which can result in permanent damage to a woman’s reproductive system, which is not only very painful but also makes it difficult or even impossible to get pregnant.
