Chlamydia
Annual screening for chlamydia is recommended of all sexually active women aged <25 years.
Chlamydia is commonly asymptomatic and screening programs can reduce rates of pelvic inflammatory disease. Treatment is with a single dose of 1g of azithromycin or seven days of doxycycline. Alternatives include Ofloxacin, Levofloxacin or Erythromycin.
