    Just something I've found out from my health advisor at the GU clinic, the urine test for girls isn't THAT accurate so its worth getting a swab test by a GP or at a clinic as well. I think at GU clinic's all tests are free

    A swab for girls is more reliable, although a urine test is very good, especially good for screening for chlamydia in girls who have no symptoms of a sexually transmitted infection. This free home delivered test for Chlamydia is a screening programme, not a diagnostic service.

    Someone who has symptoms should go to a GU Clinic for full sexual health screen. All tests in a GU clinic are totally free.

    There is also http://www.chlamydiascreening.nhs.uk/ on the right hand side there is a map, if you type in your Postcode it will tell you your nearest screening test centre or postal service. I got mine from the postal service it told me, was very easy to do, got a text telling me it was clear. The one I used also checked me for Gonorrhea.

    It's worth getting checked out as Chlamydia can cause all sorts of problems without you knowing, including infertility if it's left undetected for a long time.
