What is the Chlamydia screen?

The test is FREE, simple and painless. You don’t even have to be examined and no one needs to know about it, not even your GP.

Men provide a urine (wee) sample while women take a swab from the entrance of the vagina, which is easier than inserting a tampon.

The test will only tell you if you have Chlamydia; it won’t tell you about other infections.

If you think you have another infection call the sexual health booking line for a sexual health appointment anywhere in Lincolnshire.

Call 01522 539 145 between 08:30 – 16:30, Monday to Friday to book an appointment.

Services are available in Lincoln, Grantham, Boston, Skegness, Gainsborough, Louth, Spalding, Horncastle and Mablethorpe. Clinic services and times may differ between locations.

It’s confidential and no-one will even know you’ve asked for a test

If I have Chlamydia will my partner have it too?

Chlamydia is spread through unprotected sex (not wearing a condom).

If you’ve got Chlamydia you must let your sexual partners know too as they may have it.

Don’t worry, we can contact them for you without using your name. We’ll also treat them for free.

What happens after the test?

You can receive your results by text, email, phone or post. You decide.

We won’t tell anyone else that you’ve been tested, not even your GP, without your consent.
