National Chlamydia Screening Programme (UK)

The National Chlamydia Screening Programme in the UK aims to prevent the spread of chlamydia, a common sexually transmitted infection, by encouraging regular testing, especially among young people under 25. It offers confidential, free testing through clinics, pharmacies, and home kits. Early detection and treatment help prevent serious health problems like infertility. The program promotes awareness, reduces stigma, and ensures those at risk can access testing easily, supporting overall sexual health and reducing the infection’s impact in the community.
