Dual testing for Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhoea

Following discussion in 2007 it was agreed that programme areas using GenProbe Aptima Combo would need to include information about GC in their Patient Information Leaflets. This is the case for any other areas carrying out dual testing. For further information please view the original letter (PDF).

Be proactive
The National Chlamydia Screening Programme (NCSP) is a control and prevention programme targeted at the highest risk group for chlamydia infection in England, young people under 25 who are sexually active.

Chlamydia is often asymptomatic so a large proportion of cases remain undiagnosed, but infection can be diagnosed easily (young people can do the test themselves), and treated effectively.
