Chlamydia tests in Lephalale

Chlamydia is one of the most common STIs in the world.  Most men and women with a Chlamydia infection do not have any symptoms.  Especially in the first few weeks and months of infection.  Our Lephalale clinic tests men and women for Chlamydia with a simple urine sample.

If you have had unprotected sex with a new partner, you should have a test for Chlamydia.  You should not wait for Chlamydia symptoms to appear to get tested.
