This risk of long-term reproductive health problems associated with C. trachomatis infections has lead some European countries to routinely offer testing for chlamydia to sexually active young people in an attempt to reduce the spread of the disease.
Zaradi tveganja dolgoročnih težav z reproduktivnim zdravjem zaradi okužb z bakterijo C. trachomatis nekatere evropske države mladim spolno aktivnim ljudem ponujajo rutinsko testiranje za klamidijo, s čimer želijo omejiti razširjanje te bolezni.
