CHLAMYDIA TEST

Facts:

• Chlamydia is one of the most commonly sexually transmitted infections worldwide.

• Sexually active young adults (15-29 years) are most at risk, especially those with varying sexual partners.

• In Denmark alone, 50,000 people are estimated to have Chlamydia,
  with 30,000 new cases every year.

Regular testing is important because the symptoms are not always easy to spot and approx. 2/3 of all women do not detect if they are infected with Chlamydia. If left untreated, the disease can have serious consequences, leading to:

• Infertility

• Increasing risk of ectopic pregnancies

• Increasing risk of premature birth

• Pelvic inflammatory disease

• High risk of pregnant mothers passing on the disease to their
  new-born infant.
