Chlamydia infection

Condoms cannot entirely prevent a Chlamydia infection, but they reduce the risk considerably.

For an infection to be diagnosed promptly and not passed on, people with frequently changing sexual partners should be tested regularly for Chlamydia.

Women under the age of 26 can be tested once a year, paid for by their health insurance fund. Pregnant women should also be tested for Chlamydia, as the bacteria can lead to premature birth and to an infection for the newborn baby.
