Chlamydia and Gonorrhoea

Chlamydia and Gonorrhoea are two of the most common sexually transmitted infections in the North East.  Both of these infections may not give you any symptoms, but if not treated could lead to health complications, including infertility.  Gay, Straight, Bisexual, it doesn't matter; you can catch Chlamydia or Gonorrhoea.  If you have had any sexual contact you may have put yourself at risk, so it's a good idea to take a test.

Remember the best way to protect yourself from STI's is to use a condom. These are FREE with C-Card if you're 13-24 or from your local Sexual Health Clinic. Visit our Free Condoms section for advice, information and how to access.

How do I get my results?

Results take 7-10 working days, you can choose if you want these by text, telephone or a letter.

If you have a positive result for either infection you will be contacted by a Health Advisor who will arrange or discuss with you the best place to get treatment.

Who will we tell?

We don't tell anyone that you've taken a test or what your results are.  It doesn't even go on your GP notes.

We take confidentiality VERY seriously. Your details will not be shared unless we think somebody is at serious risk of harm, sexual abuse or you need treatment and we can't contact you.  It's important you choose the best method of contact for you.
