What is Chlamydia?
Chlamydia is one of the most common STIs in the world. It is a bacterial infection that affects both men and women and is one of the leading causes of infertility for both sexes. Chlamydia often has no symptoms, so the only way to know if you have the infection is to get tested.
Chlamydia testing with Better2Know is quick, efficient and stress-free and, if you test positive, we can help you to access the treatment and support you need.

How is Chlamydia treated?
Chlamydia is a curable infection, which can be treated with a short course of antibiotics. If you test positive for Chlamydia following a test or screen with us, we can arrange a private consultation with a Better2Know Doctor.
As well as discussing your diagnosis with you, your Doctor will also be able to provide you with a prescription for the required medication.
You may wish to take another test at the end of your course to ensure that the STI has completely cleared.
What else should I get tested for?
As well as individual Chlamydia testing, Better2Know also provides a wide range of comprehensive STI screens. If you are worried about a recent sexual encounter, Better2Know recommends you choose the Full Screen, which also looks for HIV, Gonorrhoea, Syphilis, Hepatitis B and Mycoplasma infections.
If you have symptoms of pain, itchiness, tenderness or discomfort in the genital area, the Better2Know Comfort Screen (or a Female Swab for women) may be the best option for you.
