Health officials in Rotherham have enlisted the help of their local rugby union team to encourage residents to get screened for chlamydia.
NHS Rotherham have recruited the heavy hitting help of the Rotherham Titans to front their 'I've Been Tested' campaign, which aims to raise awareness of a disease that often lies undetected among sufferers and can lead to long-term health problems, including infertility.
According to recent figures, one in 10 sexually active under-25s have the infection without knowing it, sparking fresh efforts to reach out to the region's younger generation who are most at risk of contracting chlamydia.
The drive has been launched along with another campaign by NHS Rotherham - aimed at improving the region's exercise habits by walking the 467 million steps it would take to get to the moon.
Participants of the Trust's 'Moon Walk' challenge will receive a free 'moonometer' which will monitor the amount of steps they take each day on their virtual trip to the moon.
