Treatment is simple and FREE!
Just 4 antibiotic tablets!
For most people 4 tablets taken all in one go is all you need! In some cases — for example if you are pregnant — a longer course of treatment may be required.
See our page on "What happens if I get Chlamydia when I'm pregnant?" for more information.
For the treatment to be effective, you MUST take all the tablets you are given! You may need to have some tests for other STI’s as well. This will be discussed with you.
To avoid being re-infected it is important:
- That your partner(s) is also seen and treated.
- That you do not have penetrative sex (when the penis enters the vagina, mouth or anus) until you and your partner have been treated and had a follow up consultation with the nurse.
Always wear a condom to avoid re-infection
Condoms are FREE! More information is available from our Condom Distribution Scheme.
