A swab shouldn't put girls off screening for Chlamydia. It is a very simple procedure which you can do yourself. It isn't painful and far easier than trying to pee into a pot! Once a young person has taken their first Chlamydia test they realise just how easy a swab is to do and the benefits of the test are so great a swab shouldn't put anyone off.

I have just watched the chlamydia video and I was under the impression the females could choose to 'pee in the pot' rather that using a vaginal swab? This could put some young people off coming for screening and I think both options should be promoted.
