Having Chlamydia often shows no or mild symptoms. Untreated, it can lead to serious consequences for both men and women. It is easily treatable with antibiotics. In men, untreated Chlamydia can cause inflammation in the epididymis and the prostate, as well as decreased fertility. Women may suffer from inflammation of the fallopian tubes and pelvic area, which can lead to chronic pelvic pain and decreased fertility. Chlamydia can be transmitted to sexual partners, even without symptoms.
It is crucial to get tested for Chlamydia after unprotected sex. Our home self-test kit for Chlamydia is easy to use and pain-free. The sample collection is done by the individual and sent to a laboratory. Men need to collect the first stream of morning urine, while women will use a swab to collect a sample from the vagina. A positive result indicates a Chlamydia infection; a negative result means no infection is present. The incubation period for Chlamydia is 14 days, meaning you can test yourself 14 days after having unprotected sex.
Chlamydia is treatable with antibiotics, but it is possible to get Chlamydia again after being treated and cured. Treatment does not prevent future infections.
If you have Chlamydia or have been alerted by a sexual partner, get tested for Chlamydia. The Tester offers the cheapest option for Chlamydia testing with the highest reliability. If you’ve had unprotected sex, you might also be at risk for other STDs like Gonorrhea and Trichomonas. Consider getting tested for these STDs as well.
