FHI warns against unreliable chlamydia tests: Choose safe test methods

Transmission of sexually transmitted diseases, especially chlamydia and gonorrhea, is increasing among young people. Although many people resort to rapid tests bought online or in shops, the Norwegian Institute of Public Health (FHI) warns against their unreliability.

False security can be the consequence

Senior doctor Anne Olaug Olsen at FHI emphasizes to VG that rapid tests for chlamydia can give false negative results, which gives a false sense of security. This can lead to unknowingly spreading the infection further.
