Мере скрининга

Screening is done when you have had unsafe sex or a new partner.

Screening must be done systematically among all people passing through an anonymous and free screening center (even if these people come for HIV screening), planning centers, orthogenesis centers. In these places, 10% of people screened are positive for chlamidiae. Some doctors recommend screening all pregnant women under 25 as well.

Regular screening allows prompt treatment and prevents transmission of infection to new partners. In the event of a positive result, it is important to tell anyone you have had sex with who may have been exposed.. She will need to be tested and treated immediately if infected. This point is extremely important, because this infection is not immunizing, it can be caught several times in a row. However, in 84% of cases, a person who undergoes a new contamination was it by the same person as the first time!

Chlamydia can be detected, both in men and in women, with a simple test.

The first urine sample is taken from the man, and from the woman, the first urine sample is taken, or a vulvovaginal self-sampling is performed.

Other samples are possible, at the opening of the urethra, the cervix (with a gynecological examination) as well as rectal self-samples, or a sample in the throat.
