Young people in Nantwich have the chance to win an iPod Nano on May 29th by volunteering for a free health check in a scheme playfully dubbed ‘Pee for a Pod’.

The heath test is due to take place t the Guy Harvey Youth Club in Nantwich, and is open to both men and women.

The idea is to get young men and women to be tested for the sexually transmitted desease Chlamydia, and they hope that lure of being entered into a prize draw to win an iPod Nano is enough to tempt them.

The youth centre offering the scheme is run buy The Hub @ Connexions, in Crewe.

John Beddows, from Connexions, said:

Chlamydia is the most common sexually transmitted illness in the UK and affects both sexes, although young women are more at risk.

Many people often don’t know they have the infection as they don’t always have symptoms but, if left untreated, Chlamydia can cause infertility so it is very important for individuals to get themselves checked out.

The health test is very simple and completely painless; all people need to do is come along to Guy Harvey Youth Club anytime from 6.30am-9.00pm on May 29 and provide a urine sample.

The test is com-letely free and of course confidential. The number for Connexions is: 01270 251002.
