CHLAMYDIA testing kits are going to be available from the back of city cabs.

In addition to the 'Condoms in Taxis' scheme, NHS Nottingham City has joined up again with A2B Cars to provide the kits to customers.

Postal Chlamydia screening kits will be free to all customers aged 18 or above.

People just need to take the kit home and then post it back to the lab.

The scheme is aimed at increasing take up of Chlamydia screening in under 25s, encouraging use of condoms by reducing the stigma, and reducing Sexually Transmitted Infections.

Ian Brough, A2B Cars business development manager, said: "We are proud to be involved in the additional scheme to the already successful 'Condoms in Taxis' pilot.

"With the condoms and screening kits being placed in the back of our vehicles, customers can take them without the embarrassment of having to ask.

"Once the holders are empty our drivers re-fill them."

The scheme runs until the end of December.

Information on Sexually Transmitted Infections or any aspect of sexual health is available from www.gotitcovered.org.uk or contact NHS direct on 0845 46 47.
