Chlamydia, gonorrhea top U.S. list of STDs - Cortlandt Forum
Chlamydia, gonorrhea top U.S. list of STDs - Cortlandt Forum: "in 2007, hitting young women and minorities especially hard, the CDC announced in its annual report on sexually transmitted disease (STD).
The more than 1.1 million new diagnoses for chlamydia comprise the most cases “ever reported to the CDC for any condition,” the agency notes (www.cdc.gov/std/stats07).
Consequently, it recommends annual screenings for all sexually active women under age 26 and for older women who have new or multiple partners or other risk factors. Women who have the disease should be retested after three months and efforts should be made to get their partners tested and treated, too."
