# Chlamydia

> Chlamydia often causes no symptoms. How an online consultation combines testing, antibiotic treatment when indicated, and partner advice.

Chlamydia may cause no symptoms at all, which is part of why it needs a
deliberate approach rather than waiting to feel unwell.

## What it is

Chlamydia is a common bacterial sexually transmitted infection. Because it
so often causes no symptoms, people can carry and pass it on without
knowing.

## How care is approached

Safe care combines appropriate testing, an antibiotic when confirmed or
clinically indicated, and clear advice on partners, abstinence and repeat
testing.

  <Card title="Testing" icon="vial">
    A doctor considers what testing is appropriate for the situation
    described in the questionnaire.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Treatment when indicated" icon="pills">
    An antibiotic is considered when chlamydia is confirmed or clinically
    indicated — the decision, and the specific medicine, is always made by
    the reviewing doctor.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Partner and follow-up advice" icon="comments">
    Clear advice is given on informing partners, abstinence during
    treatment, and repeat testing.

<Note>
  A doctor decides whether treatment is appropriate and what it should be —
  never automatically, and never based on the questionnaire answers alone
  without clinical review.

## How Hi-Doctor handles it

The questionnaire covers symptoms, sexual health history, current
medication and allergies — see how [eligibility works](/essentials/how-it-works)
and how [safety checks](/essentials/safety) run. Sexual health is offered as
a one-off consultation; the cost is set out on [pricing](/essentials/pricing).
Any medicine a doctor prescribes is paid separately at a pharmacy. See the
full range of [treatment areas](/essentials/treatments) Hi-Doctor covers.

  Answer the sexual health questionnaire and a registered doctor reviews it.
  They decide whether treatment is appropriate, which one, and at what dose —
  and declining is a normal outcome. See [what it costs](/essentials/pricing)
  and [how the review works](/essentials/how-it-works).
