Chlamydia – testing, testing...

Chlamydia is the UK's most common sexually transmitted disease, with one out of every 14 young people directly affected by it every year.

The disease has no noticeable symptoms in the early stages.

In teenage girls the cervix is still not fully developed and matured and is lined with fresh tissue that is easily infected by chlamydia
