Chlamydia self test
With about 180,000 infections per year, Chlamydia is the most common STD in the Netherlands. The
most Chlamydia infections occur among young people. Given the contagiousness of
the STD it is important to always have safe sex with a condom. The chance of contracting an STD
to walk is a lot smaller. If you are unsure whether you have Chlamydia, it is wise to get a
STD test.
Although an STD is nothing to be ashamed of, we often see people have it
find a big step to go to the doctor. As a result, many STDs
go unnoticed and therefore not be treated. Since an untreated STD can lead
to many unpleasant consequences such as infertility, it is very important to be there in time. Testing
you do not only for yourself, but also for the people you are sexually active with.
To lower the threshold, SoaStudentArts offers Chlamydia self-tests. The Chlamydia self-test
can be ordered anonymously online and can then be removed from home. With the chlamydia
self-test you no longer have to go to the doctor, but you can test yourself from your own
familiar environment. Many wonder whether a Chlamydia self-test is reliable. However,
since the test at SoaStudentArts is analyzed in a certified lab by a general practitioner,
