Clamelle Chlamydia Test Kit

The Clamelle home chlamydia screening test has been  a very useful addition to the home health testing armoury. The Clamelle test kit comes with everything required to screen for Chlamydia discretely at home

The Clamelle chlamydia screening test is different to the Viola Chlamydia test in that it tests a urine sample, the test is suitable for both men and women (Viola is only suitable for women to use), and the urine must then be sent away to the lab for the results. The results are then posted back directly to the customer within 7 days

It enables you to screen yourself for Chlamydia using a simple urine lab test. It has proved highly accurate in clinical trials and has proved very popular with consumers.

Currently this service is only offered to UK residents. 

The results of the Clamelle chlamydia test are completely confidential.

Many cases of Chlamydia are completely asymptomatic, and so this home testing kit allows individuals to screen themselves

A quick guide to home fertility tests

 The most commonly used home fertility tests are the home male fertility test and the female FSH test

Both of these test have now been available for several years in the UK and are proving reliable and helpful.

As a general guideline most GP’s will not refer a couple for further investigations until the couple have been trying to conceive without success for at least 12 months if the women is under 35 years of age, and 6 months if she is over 35 years of age.

This time can seem an eternity to the couple, and so many like to do home fertility tests. If the test picks up a fertility problem in either partner it can help speed up the diagnosis and referrral for the couple. If the tests are normal it can help to allay fears and worries and reduce stress.
