The Government of Scotland said that there is still an immediate requirement to shift the focus of testing for Chlamydia for those who are 25 years of age or below that. Official data shows that most of the cases of the sexually transmitted infection (STI) were noticed in the people below the age of 25 years which came to 72 percent of the total.

However, people from the same age group accounted for only 48 percent of all Chlamydia testing in Scotland in the year 2009.

"This report shows that there is still work to be done to ensure that chlamydia testing is being targeted at those most at risk - most notably, young people under 25," said Minister for Public Health Shona Robison while giving his comments on the Chlamydia testing figures.

He also added that they were also looking forward to create a culture of respect and motivating people to behave in a responsible way to take important precautions while deciding to depend on sexual relationships.

Robison expressed his satisfaction to see that HIV patients were getting "high levels of treatment and care in Scotland".
