Chlamydia, often misspelt as clamidia / clamydia, is an extremely common sexually transmitted infection. Unfortunately, many people do not know enough STD facts to help prevent themselves from contracting infections such as chlamydia (clamidia / clamydia).

Chlamydia is the most common STI in the UK today, with many people not even knowing that they have it. Nicolette Heaton-Harris explains in Sexually Transmitted Infections, You can be infected by chlamydia [clamidia / clamydia] through vaginal, oral or anal sex. If you are sexually active in any way, there is a risk that you could get infected with chlamydia (clamidia / clamydia).

Symptoms of chlamydia (clamidia /clamydia ) can include a burning sensation when urinating, lower back and abdominal pain and any abnormal discharge from the genitals.

Chalamydia can, in the long term, cause serious fetility problems if undiagnosed, as well as affecting the health of the sufferer.

If you are a woman and are infected with chlamydia [clamidia /clamydia], then you are also at greater risk of contracting HIV, if exposed to it.

Being tested for chlamydia usually involves either a swab test or urine sample, and can be carried out by your GP, who will test for chlamydia infection. Your doctor will also provide you with any STD facts to help prevent you contracting other sexually transmitted infections in the future.

If you think you have contracted chlamydia, which is sometimes wrongly spelt as clamidia or clamydia, you can go to your doctor for a simple swab test or urine sample which will be sent away and tested for infection with chlamydia (clamidia / clamydia). Your doctor can also provide you with STD facts to help you prevent any other infections contracted through sexual activity.

In order to prevent yourself from catching chlamydia, it is essential that you use a condom, and that you become aware of all the information available to you, so that if you do contract it, you will know the course of action to take.
