YOUNG people are being urged to check themselves for signs of a sexual disease.

People under 25 in County Durham are the target of a campaign against chlamydia, which affects one in ten of them and is now the country's most common curable sexual disease.

The campaign is urging youngsters to use a self-test kit or visit a sexual health clinic for a check-up.
