Why should I get tested?

My girlfriend has got chlamydia and says I need to go for treatment but I've got no symptoms so what's the point?

Dr. Patrick French says

Your girlfriend is right. It is very important that you go for treatment even if you have got no symptoms, because most people who have chlamydia have no symptoms. If you don't get treatment, then you will give this infection straight back to your girlfriend and chlamydia can be a very serious problem, particularly for women who can develop infertility if it is not treated.
