The National Chlamydia Screening program focuses on reducing reproductive harm of untreated infection in young women and people with a womb or ovaries under 25 years of age. This includes transgender men and non-binary people assigned female at birth, and intersex people with a womb and ovaries.

While Chlamydia may not have any noticeable signs or symptoms, if it is not treated, it can cause health complications for women and people with a womb or ovaries. But complications are rare in men and other people who do not have a womb or ovaries.

For women and people with a womb or ovaries, Chlamydia can cause pain due to inflammation in the pelvis, an ectopic pregnancy (a pregnancy in the fallopian tubes) and infertility (being unable to have children). This risk increases each time a person gets Chlamydia.

Diagnosing Chlamydia as early as possible reduces the risk of health complications and of passing it on. Because of this a Chlamydia test should be considered.

Young people can do the test themselves; it is confidential and does not require being examined.

Testing kits can be pick up in general practice and pharmacies.
