Ìý Chlamydia Thursday 12 June 2003 Ìý
The publication of the Parliamentary Health Select Committee's report on sexual health was deeply shocking, particularly on the statistics for the bacterial infection Chlamydia.

It's known to have few, if any, symptoms in the majority of cases in both men and women, but potentially disastrous consequences for a woman's fertility if left undetected and untreated. There is still no national testing programme and the test that is commonly used has been found not to be good enough, even though there is a more effective, but more expensive test. So what's going on?
Isabel Nelson had chlamydia in her early 20s and has been trying for 15 years to have a baby. Dr Penny Chandiok is a consultant in genito urinary medicine at the Withington Hospital in Manchester. They join Jenni to discuss.
