Although these symptoms may not sound particularly threatening, if the infection is left untreated it can spread to the rest of your body. In women, this can result in pelvic inflammatory disease and infertility as well as birth defects and premature labour if the infection goes untreated throughout a pregnancy.A simple urine test or vaginal or anal swab will be able to determine if you are infected.
Many sexual health clinics now offer a finger prick test - a far less invasive test that involves a virtually pain-free prick to the tip of your finger. The nurse or doctor then squeezes a tiny amount of blood from your finger to test. The results to finger prick tests are often instant, it's known as a "rapid results" test, while full blood samples may take up to one week to come back from the lab.
