HOW IS CHLAMYDIA PASSED ON?<\/h1>\n

Chlamydia is passed on through most types of sexual contact including oral sex, vaginal sex and anal sex. The infection can also be transmitted by fingers and sex toys. The incubation time for the infection is short \u2013 from around 24 hours to a couple of weeks. The incubation time is the period between your exposure to the bacteria or virus and when the infections break out.<\/p>\n

SYMPTOMS<\/h1>\n

People often don\u2019t realize they have chlamydia because the infection doesn\u2019t always have symptoms. When chlamydia does produce symptoms it\u2019s in the form of burning in the urethra when peeing, and discharge from the urethra, vagina or anus and a general feeling of being unwell. If you have these symptoms, they generally appear a couple of weeks after catching the infection. Since people often don\u2019t realize they have chlamydia, it\u2019s important to get tested regularly to monitor your health.<\/p>\n

Whether or not you get symptoms, untreated chlamydia can cause joint pains, as well as epididymis and prostate inflammation. Untreated chlamydia can lead to salpingitis (inflammation of the Fallopian tubes) and epididymitis which in turn can lead to infertility and problems in connection with pregnancy. Therefore, it\u2019s a good idea to get tested regularly so you can get treatment quickly if you have the infection. Protect yourself during sexual contact by wearing a condom.<\/p>\n

Getting tested<\/h1>\n

Since chlamydia is a so-called \u2018local infection\u2019, it can be found in the throat, vagina, penis and anus. This is why the health professionals have to test you in all areas. It is therefore important that you tell them what type(s) of sex that you have had. This will ensure the correct samples are taken. The vagina and penis are tested by giving a urine sample. Make sure you don\u2019t urinate right before giving the sample! The throat and anus are tested by swabbing a small cotton bud against the mucus membrane for a second or two. Testing takes just a few minutes. Testing and treatment are always free of charge in Sweden.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t forget that you could also have chlamydia in your throat or ass as well. However, to get tested in those spots, you have to go to a clinic.<\/p>\n

If you turn out to have chlamydia, you will have to take part in an infection trace. In order to find others who may have chlamydia, you\u2019ll be asked who you\u2019ve had sex with recently. It may feel a bit strange, but it\u2019s a good way of showing consideration for the people you\u2019ve had sex with. It gives them an opportunity to check that they\u2019re healthy. This is what an infection trace is \u2013 sounds kinda weird, but it\u2019s actually a great thing.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re named as a sexual partner of someone who has caught chlamydia, you are obligated to go and get tested.<\/p>\n
