Treatment

We provide a quick single dose antibiotic azithromycin and the equally effective one week course of antibiotic doxycycline.

Doxycycline costs less than azithromycin. Antibiotic can also be obtained from any participating pharmacy offering the Clamelle chlamydia service.

Informing partners

If you have a positive result it is likely that your sexual partner(s) will have it too. Your recent partners should be treated to reduce the spread of infection to others and protect them from the complications of chlamydia.

If you have tested positive for chlamydia your partner(s) can also get azithromycin from this site, or from a participating pharmacy.

The participating pharmacist will require you to give your partner(s) a notification of contact before partner(s) can be supplied with treatment direct from the pharmacy.

Negative results

If your test is negative, it means you don't have chlamydia. However, you may be at risk of other sexually transmitted infections and so it is important that you visit your GUM clinic to be tested for other STIs.

The home test kit does not detect chlamydia in the mouth or anus.

It takes 2 weeks from infection for a test to become positive. It takes 6 weeks to go negative after successful treatment.

If the result of your test is unclear and is recorded as neither positive or negative, the test should be repeated. This is known as 'an equivocal test result'. If you have an equivocal results you can message the doctor in 'Your Account' section of this website with the details of your result and your URN and we will give you a replacement kit free of charge.
