Chlamydia and gonorrhoea are common sexually transmitted infections (STIs) that can affect both men and women, often without causing noticeable symptoms, yet they can still be transmitted. Left untreated, both infections can lead to serious complications, including reduced fertility. Chlamydia can infect the urethra, cervix, rectum, anus, throat, and eyes, while gonorrhoea commonly affects the genitals, rectum, and throat, particularly in young adults aged 15–24.

Neisseria gonorrhoeae is the bacteria which causes the sexually transmitted disease gonorrhoea. Gonorrhoea is usually easily treated but can cause severe reproductive and health problems if left untreated.
Chlamydia trachomatis is the most common bacterial sexually transmitted infection in Australia. Diagnosing and treating chlamydia is very important to prevent long-term complications and spread of the infection to others.
