Thousands to be sent chlamydia test kits (From Echo): "Thousands to be sent chlamydia test kits
A HEALTH trust is mailing out thousands of chlamydia testing kits to young people in Southend, Rochford and Castle Point in an effort to halt the disease’s spread.
NHS South East Essex says one sexually active young person in ten tests positive for chlamydia, making it one of the most common sexually transmitted infections.
Mailing out kits is part of the NHS’s screening programme and will continue through the year.
The first batch of 6,000 will hit doormats in the coming weeks, with everyone aged between 18 and 24 due to get one within a year."
