Recently i've been receiving a lot of information about new websites around that are solely there for chlamydia prevention.
Chalmydia is one of the most common bacterial sexually transmitted infections. It is easy to test for, just a urine sample and easy to treat, just some antibiotics. The concering thing is, that in 75-80% of women, and up to 50% of men the infection has no signs or symptoms, and even worse, if it is left untreated it could lead to infertility. It is most common in young people under 25yo.
Check out these websites:

ReplyDeleteGet links Kel! Very timely for me as I have been looking as STI's with a year 10 group. Did you find the posters on the first site? There are some great audio ads on the UK site - really amusing - they would be great to play to a group.
