We’ve teamed up with In Demand Radio to encourage young people to take greater responsibility for their sexual health during the festive season.

Our Think...Chlamydia! campaign is supported by Magenta Living and aims to raise awareness and increase testing rates among 15–24 year olds, offering access through ourPlace, Wirral’s Sexual Health Service for young people and free, confidential online postal test kits (available to those aged 16+).

Chlamydia is one of the most common STI and most people who have it don’t have symptoms. The only way to know is to get tested.

Testing is…
✔️ Quick
✔️ Free
✔️ Confidential

Get your FREE home test kit or come into one of our clinics.

Dr Kirsten, explains how easy it is to get tested!
