Maidstone Sexual Health Clinic FAQs

Getting tested at home is easy and won’t take more than 10 minutes of your time. Simply apply for a Home STD Test and we will send out a test suitable for the STDs you wish to test for. Some tests can be turned around in 2 days, whilst others can take 5 days due to some samples requiring a slightly longer testing period.

Most Postal Tests require either a blood prick sample using a lancet or a simple collection of urine.

With the correct treatment, yes chlamydia does go away. If you suspect that you or a person you have had sexual contact with has chlamydia, then you should get tested and follow the advice of a medical professional.

Commonly prescribed antibiotics for chlamydia are:

  • Doxycycline
  • Azithromycin

Positive chlamydia results for one partner, but not the other could be due to 3 reasons:

  • Your result is a false positive
  • Their result is a false negative
  • The virus has not yet been transmitted between each partner

It is not necessarily the case that a positive result for one partner indicates infidelity in the relationship. It has been noted that false negative results are more common than false positives to a magnitude of around 10 to 1.
