Today the Nursing Times are reporting that there has been a decrease in the number of STI's, but that this could be due to the increase in people taking tests. In England last year there was a 10% rise of people taking a Chlamydia test, making the total number of tests a whopping 2.2 million! To read the article in full visit the Nursing Times website.
Doing a chlamydia test isn't as scary as it may seem, for girls it is a simple swab, and for boys a urine test, these get sent off the lab and results tend to come through within a week - so it's a fairly painless process!
For more information on all STI's, visit the STI page on the No Risks website or to make an appointment at one of our Sexual Health clinics in Suffolk call us in complete confidence on 0300 123 3650.
