Chlamydia initiatives to drive down rates of infection - News - getsurrey

"CASES of chlamydia are still on the increase in Surrey despite a number of initiatives to try to prevent youngsters from catching the sexually transmitted disease.

The chlamydia screening team for NHS Surrey tested more than 12,000 young people last year but the number infected is now believed to be up by 15% compared to 2008.

NHS Surrey has launched a new initiative which involves training pharmacists to help make testing and treatment easier."
