Quantity per order: 50 (Shrink wrapped bundle)
Chlamydia is common in the U.S. In 2006, over one million cases of chlamydia were reported to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). However, it is estimated that almost 3 million cases actually occurred.
"What You Should Know About Chlamydia" highlights the potential complications of this common, curable, but often unrecognized infection. Topics covered include testing, treatment, prevention, implications for pregnancy, and strategies for raising the subject with your healthcare provider and partner(s).
Because chlamydia is most common among young women, CDC recommends annual chlamydia screening for all sexually active women under age 26, as well as older women with risk factors such as new or multiple sex partners. "What You Should Know About Chlamydia" can help you educate your patients about this common and potentially dangerous infection and reinforce the importance of screening.
