Chlamydia rapid test (cervical/urethral swab)

Chlamydia is a common sexually transmitted infection (STI) caused by the bacterium Chlamydia trachomatis. It often presents with mild or no symptoms, making it easy to overlook. Early detection is crucial because untreated chlamydia can lead to serious health complications, including pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), infertility, and increased susceptibility to other STD, including HIV. Regular screening, especially for sexually active individuals, can help identify and treat the infection promptly, reducing the risk of complications and transmission.
