Infection Advice
*
*
Staff at Caledonia Youth will advise you on :
  • How to prevent yourself catching a sexually transmitted infection.
  • What the signs and symptoms of a sexually transmitted infection are (many infections have no symptoms).
  • Where to get tested for sexually transmitted infections.
  • Chlamydia Testing - We give out postal testing kits for chlamydia. These have everything needed to send a urine specimen from home to the GUM clinic. You can have the results sent to you by post or e-mail or the clinic can phone you or you can phone them for the results. They will sort out any treatment and follow up.
  • We also offer a chlamydia testing service for all clients who attend for emergency contraception. We will take a urine sample from you and the results will be returned 1 - 2 weeks later. Staff will organise treatment if the result is positive.
The treatment for chlamydia is normally very straightforward and involves taking 4 antibiotic pills at the same time. You or anyone you are currently having sex with will also have to be treated and you will be encouraged to talk to any previous sexual partners and encourage them to be tested.
