Crazy Chlamydia

Chlamydia is a sexually transmitted infection. This infection is caused by the bacteria Chlamydia trachomatis. You can get this by having sex with someone that had the bacteria. If you have more than one sex partner than the chances of you getting chlamydia is a lot higher. One and four men that have chlamydia don’t have any symptoms at all and thirty percent of women with chlamydia don’t have any symptoms at all. There are few symptoms for male and female. Males will have a burning sensation while urination, discharge from the penis or rectum, testicular tenderness or pain, or rectal discharge. In females they may experience a burning sensation while urinating, very painful to have sex, rectal pain or discharge, or vaginal discharge. Symptoms may take up to one to three weeks.
                If this disease is not treated it can result in pelvic inflammatory disease only in females. If not treated then the females fallopian tubes can become infected with no signs. Chlamydia can also increase the chances of becoming infected with HIV. If you are pregnant and have chlamydia it can cause a premature delivery which means the baby comes out dead.
                The treatment for chlamydia is fairly easy. It can be treated and cured by antibiotics which are a dose of azithromycin or a week of doxycycline twice a day. You need to not have sex while you have chlamydia. If the full amount antibiotics prescribed are not completely taken, then the infection will not be cured. The best way to prevent from get chlamydia is to have sexual abstinence. This is when you don’t have sex at all. If you are going to have sex do not switch partners all of the time.

  5. I learned that your middle name is Brandon.
    What's the main differences between this and gonorrhea? I'm not sure which one I got.
    I like your word choice in the sentence, "...do not switch partners all of the time"
