Chlamydia On The Increase In The Hunter

The latest figures show there's been an alarming rise in the Hunter's sexually transmitted infection rate.


Just over a thousand cases of Chlamydia have been reported this year to April, which is 171 more compared to the same time last year.


Hunter New England Health says it's important people are regularly tested to stop the spread of the disease, particularly those under the age of 25 who've changed partners and are having unprotected sex.
