Creepin' Chlamydia

Chlamydia- a disease caused by bacteria, and most of the time it is sexually transmitted.
Cause: Can get it during vaginal, anal or oral sex; also if passed down from mother to child.
The only 100 percent way to prevent getting Chlamydia is abstinence. But if you do choose to be sexually active, make sure your partner gets tested and using condoms can reduce your risk of getting Chlamydia.
Symptoms: Chlamydia is known as a silent disease, so it can take up from 1 to 3 weeks for any symptoms to show. Some of the symptoms for women are: Burning sensation, discharge, fever, pain, and etc.  Some of the symptoms for men are: Discharge from penis, burning sensation, itching, and etc.
If left untreated, it can lead to some serious health problems. Untreated Chlamydia can spread and cause PID (Pelvic inflammatory disease) and can also increase your chances of getting HIV.
Pregnancy: Chlamydia is the leading cause of pink eye in newborns; it can also cause infertility and premature delivery.
Treatment: Chlamydia is curable; it can be easily treated and cured with antibiotics. And make sure you get re-tested every three months.
