Chlamydia 

Description:

Chlamydia is one of the most common bacterial sexually transmitted disease (STD) in the United States today, but many infected people have no symptoms.   Pregnant women may transmit the infection to their newborn. Often progressing silently, this disease can cause infertility and other health complications if left untreated. However, this disease can be cured with antibiotics. Consider chlamydia testing as part of routine STD screening, especially if you have had unprotected sex with someone whose STD status you do not know or are concerned about.

 

Gonorrhea

Description:

Gonorrhea (the clap) is also a very common human sexually transmitted infection caused by the bacterium Neisseria gonorrhoeae. The usual symptoms in men are burning with urination and penile discharge. Women, on the other hand, are asymptomatic half the time or have vaginal discharge and pelvic pain. In both men and women, if gonorrhea is left untreated, it may spread locally, causing epididymitis or pelvic inflammatory disease or throughout the body, affecting joints and heart valves.

 

Testing:

A sample of urine is required to test for Chlamydia and Gonorrhea.  It is recommended not to urinate for at least one hour prior to supplying the urine sample.  Results are available within 24-72  hours after testing.
