In Singapore, Chlamydia screening is easily accessible and can be done at various healthcare facilities, including polyclinics, private GP clinics, sexual health clinics, and hospitals. Many clinics offer confidential STI testing, so your results and personal details are kept private.
The screening process is simple and usually involves:
- For men: A urine test or a urethral swab
- For women: A vaginal swab (self-collected in many clinics) or a urine test
- Optional: Additional STI tests if you want a full screening
The test is quick, painless, and results can come back within 1–3 days, depending on the clinic. Early detection is important because Chlamydia often shows no symptoms, but if left untreated it may lead to fertility issues and other complications.
Many clinics also provide same-day treatment if you test positive. If you’re sexually active or have had unprotected intercourse, it’s recommended to get screened regularly for peace of mind and your overall sexual health.
