Chlamydia

Chlamydia is one of the most common sexually transmitted infections and often causes no symptoms, which is why testing is important. When it does cause symptoms, these may include unusual discharge or discomfort when passing urine. At GetMyMeds, testing and treatment are reviewed by our clinicians to make sure they're appropriate for you.

How It Works

1. Complete an online consultation — answer a few confidential questions about your symptoms, history and any test results.
2. A clinician reviews your suitability — one of our prescribers checks your answers and confirms whether treatment is appropriate.
3. Discreet delivery — if suitable, a test kit or treatment is dispensed and delivered in plain, unbranded packaging.

Who Is It For

Treatment may be suitable if you've tested positive for chlamydia, or if a clinician advises treatment based on your circumstances. A home test kit can help you check your status discreetly. Because chlamydia can affect partners too, current sexual partners should also be tested and treated to prevent reinfection. If you have severe symptoms or possible complications, you may be advised to seek in-person care.

FAQ

Should I get tested if I have no symptoms? Yes. Chlamydia often has no symptoms, so regular testing is recommended if you're sexually active, particularly after a new partner.

Do my partners need treatment too? Yes. To avoid passing the infection back and forth, recent sexual partners should also be tested and treated.

When is it safe to have sex again? It's generally advised to avoid sex until you and your partner have completed treatment and any advised waiting period. A clinician can give specific guidance.
