Free Home Chlamydia test for under 24's(merged)

Hi there just thought I would let you know that Boots are currently giving away a free home testing kit for chlamydia if you are under 24, no purchase necessary.
You never know how strong you are until being strong is the only choice you have.

    Can you not get this done free at the doctors anyway? I was hoping it would be a case of they send it to your house and you send it back.

    I believe the reason more people dont go in for these tests are that it is quite embarassing to do. I like the idea of a home test.
    This is my signature. There are many like it, but this one is mine.

  • very worth while test
    in my job i have come across quite a few young women who are now infertile because of clamidia going untreated for years, no signs symptoms etc....worth a few mins of your time to do compared to a life time of heartache
