| Quote: | Cases of sexually spread diseases on the rise
Reported chlamydia infections set record; improved testing cited
The Associated Press
updated 1:38 p.m. ET, Tues., Jan. 13, 2009
ATLANTA - Sexually spread diseases — for years on the decline — are on the rise, with reported chlamydia cases setting a record, government health officials said Tuesday.
The increase in chlamydia, a sometimes symptomless infection that can lead to infertility in women, is likely because of better screening, experts said. In 2007, there were 1.1 million cases, the most ever reported, said officials at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Thousands of women become infertile each year because of untreated chlamydia and gonorrhea infections, said Dr. John M. Douglas Jr., director of the CDC's Division of STD Prevention.
Syphilis cases, which number only in the thousands, also rose modestly, while the number of gonorrhea cases remained roughly the same. Syphilis can kill, if left untreated, but chlamydia and gonorrhea are not life-threatening.
Chlamydia can infect men as well as women, but rates are nearly three times higher for women. That's at least partly due to 1993 federal recommendations that emphasize testing for sexually active women age 25 and under. That emphasized screening in recent years is no doubt driving the record numbers, said Dr. Jonathan Zenilman, a professor of infectious diseases at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine.
"The issue with chlamydia is the more test, the more you'll find," Zenilman said.
The latest numbers translate to a rate of 370 cases per 100,000 people in 2007, up 7.5 percent from 2006.
The reported cases are just part of the picture. Health officials believe as many as 2.8 million Americans may have chlamydia.
Many men and women have no symptoms from it. Some women experience pain in their lower abdomen or notice a burning sensation or a pus-like discharge when they urinate. Some men may also feel a burning during urination or have a discharge.

Dragonlady8, No. It sounds like more people just need to be tested.
| Quote: | | Reported chlamydia infections set record; improved testing cited |
which means that more people don't have chlamydia. We know of more people that have chlamydia....which is totally treatable. In addition, too many people are having too many babies anyway. So if untreated chlamydia makes people infertile, then I say we infect all low income women with chlamydia. Sound harsh? Sure but there would likely be fewer poor idiots running around.

I do agree that you gotta wrap it up. But that information could be misleading because of this, and the article does briefly say this.
It seems like more people are getting std's because people are getting tested more so it gets reported more. This could be due to the fact that people are possibly listening to public service messages that say get tested, where condoms etc... Who knows in the past whether or not people actually got tested so their cases would never get reported, slightly skewing the numbers. So this could be a good thing because it shows that people are atleast being responible to get tested. Thats kind of a stretch though... 
Life lesson: Wrap it up

Study is not skewed....... that's where the CDC is located.  Being that you're in medical school, I'm sure you've heard about that place.

from my experience in youth groups, the ones taking a strong stance like that are the bitter, rage-suppressing ugly chicks that couldn't get it slung to them by a piss drunk hobo. All the hot girls from my youth group, while people thought there were angels, were just good liars.
