Should I tell my partner?

Why do partners and ex-partners need to be involved?

If you have had sex (anal, oral or vaginal) with this person they may have chlamydia

What will happen if my partner/ partners are not told?

You may become re-infected if you have sex with them again.
They may pass the infection on to others.
Both men and women may develop serious health problems including infertility (being unable to have a baby).

How do I tell them?

We understand that it can seem daunting to talk about something so personal. The nurse/health advisor can help you find the best way to approach your partner.

What if I don’t wish to tell them myself?

The Health advisor can arrange to do this for you in a confidential way without mentioning your name.
