Safe Sex

Practising safe sex is key to reducing your risk of getting sexually transmitted infections such as chlamydia.
Each time you have a new sexual partner, use a condom. Using condoms each time you have sex reduces the risk of getting or passing on an STI.
Each time you change sexual partner it is advisable for both of you to get a chlamydia test.
If you have chlamydia, do not have any sex (oral, vaginal, anal or sex toys) with partner(s) until they have been treated too.
You should abstain from sex for seven days after both you and your partner(s) have been treated for chlamydia.
