Sexually Transmitted Infection

In Wales, the numbers of cases of Chlamydia have more than doubled over the past five years. It is estimated that up to 1 in 10, sexually active, women under 25 years of age may have the infection. Chlamydia doesn't always show a symptom so what you see isn’t always what you get. It can seriously affect your health and in some cases will lead to infertility.

Use a condom for your protection.

If you think you may have been at risk from sexually transmitted infection you can be tested at your local genitourinary medicine or sexual health clinic.
