How will I know how long I have had the infection?

It can be difficult to know, particularly if you don't get any symptoms or they appear a long time after you have been exposed to Chlamydia. You might not know whether you got Chlamydia from your current or a previous sexual partner. These doubts can be hard to handle. Some people feel upset or angry when they have a sexually transmitted infection and find it difficult to talk to their partner or friends. Don't be afraid to talk about how you feel with the staff at the clinic or surgery.
