Yes but i have a system: my crabs ate all the herpes, the gonorea was engulfed by syphilis, the syphilis merged with my chlamydia and defeated Hepatitis and you can't catch aids twice so i'm home free!

The only way to be certain that you have chlamydia is to be tested. If you suspect you could have chlamydia, it is important not to put off having a test done.
Early diagnosis and treatment of chlamydia will reduce the risk of any complications developing. Complications that arise from long-term chlamydial infection are much more difficult to treat.
The accuracy of chlamydia testing depends on what kind of test is used. Recommended tests are over 90% accurate in picking up the infection, shop bought tests may be less reliable.
There are different ways to test for chlamydia:
Men
In the past, the chlamydia test for men involved putting a swab into the opening of the urethra at the tip of the penis to collect a sample of cells. A urine test is now commonly used. This method is slightly less reliable than using a swab, but it is a much easier and less uncomfortable.
Testing for non-genital chlamydia
If you have had anal or oral sex, a swab of calls may be collected from your rectum or throat, but this is not done routinely.
If you have symptoms of conjunctivitis, such as discharge from the eyes, a swab may be taken to collect cells from your eye.
The two most commonly prescribed antibiotics to treat chlamydia are:
* Azithromycin (single dose)
* Doxycycline (usually two capsules a day for a week)
withington community hopsital, North Manc general, good place to start
go on
man up :)

From what I know .... not personally may I add. STI's have to be treated by the STI clinic at your local hospital. If you have an STI they will treat you and then check the infection is cleared

Not sure what to make of that as a first ever post.
