Chlamydia Testing in Aurangabad

Chlamydia is one of the most common STIs in Aurangabad.  It is easily passed on from one partner to another during sex.  If left untreated it can cause long term health problems and may lead to infertility and other health issues.

You can catch Chlamydia in your genital area, throat (if you gave oral sex) or your rectum (if you received anal sex).  You will need to test each area that might have Chlamydia.

A simple urine sample will test for Chlamydia in your genital area. Your Chlamydia test result will be available in Aurangabad in just a few days. If you do test positive, we will help you to access the treatment you need to get better.

Chlamydia often does not have any symptoms. The only way to know if you are infected is to get tested in your nearest clinic in Aurangabad.

What is a sexually transmitted infection?

A sexually transmitted infection (STI), sometimes called a sexually transmitted disease (STD), is an infection that is most often passed from one person to another during sex.  This can include skin, blood, semen, or bodily fluid contact.

HIV is passed on by blood-to-blood contact which can occur during penetrative sex, or the sharing of needles.  Herpes is passed on by skin to skin contact and can be passed on whether or not penetration occurred.

You do not need to have vaginal or anal sex to have an STI.  STIs can be passed on during oral sex, kissing and mutual masturbation.

STIs usually do not have symptoms in the first few weeks of a new infection, which is why they are easy to pass on.  You can book your appointment today by calling our 24/7 Aurangabad helpline. You can also book online using the map on this page to find a sexual health clinic near you.

Is it true that some STIs have no symptoms?

Yes. Often STIs do not present any symptoms such as itching, soreness when urinating or during sex, flu-like symptoms, or unusual discharge. Symptoms, if they do appear, can vary between different people and different STIs. Some common STI infections such as Chlamydia can present no symptoms at all. Around 90% of men and 70% of women who are infected with Chlamydia will never show any symptoms.

Because of this, it is important that you test regularly for STIs in Aurangabad. Regular testing at your local Better2Know clinic in Aurangabad will provide you with the health information you need to keep yourself, and your sexual partners safe from symptomless STIs.

STIs such as Chlamydia, Gonorrhoea, HIV, Syphilis, Herpes, Hepatitis A, B and C are just a few common STIs that can present with no symptoms in the early stages of infection. No matter where you are, even in Aurangabad, the risk of catching one of these infections is high.  Regular testing is the only way to protect your sexual health.
