Welcome to the Suffolk Chlamydia Screening Programme (SCSP) which is funded by NHS Suffolk
Sexually active young people who live in Suffolk and are under the age of 25 years of age are being encouraged to find out if they have a sexually transmitted infection (STI) called Chlamydia and to take a test every year.
- Most people won't know that they have the infection as there may be no signs or symptoms.
- It is estimated that 1 in 10 sexually active young people may have this infection.
- It is serious as it can cause long term health problems such as infertility (unable to have a baby).
- Testing is simple and painless - no unpleasant examination or swabs.
- It is easily treated with antibiotics.
ALL TESTING AND TREATMENT IS FREE
REMEMBER - using a condom will help protect you against STIs.
