The youth in Australia will be remunerated to get tested for Chlamydia. This is done because the health experts look for new ways to fight against the rising rates of the sexually-transmitted infection.

Youth who are in between 16 to 30 years of age and are sexually active will be paid $10 if they agree to participate in this test. The plan of this testing is a guide program which is running solely in the ACT.

However if it will be a success event then the program will be carried out nationwide. This was stated by Associate Professor Rhian Parker.

A Chlamydia is an infection which is usually easy to determine with antibiotics. It has no symptoms and if it is unnoticed and untreated for years it might result very badly.

Dr Parker has said that $10 is paid to each person for their test if it has shortened transmission of the infection then it would be money well used up. The longer-term effect of this disease can be shocking as well as per Dr Parker.
