Treatment of chlamydia is usually simple IF the infection is caught early-so go for tests as soon as you have any strange symptoms in your genital area or if you had unprotected sex-you can be infected but show no signs. The only way to know if you have chlamydia is to get tested at a healthcentre-this helps make sure that you get the right treatment. It is important to get all sex partners treated otherwise you will get re-infected. Having chlamydia increases your risk of catching other infections including HIV so it's important to abstain until you have completed treatment to protect you and your partner.
