Chlamydia is a sexually transmitted disease which is one of the UK's fastest spreading STD's next to the HIV(AIDS) Virus.
The infection is caused by a tiny bacterium, Chlyamydia trachomatis. Many people are completely unaware of the infection because it can easily go unnoticed with no obvious symptoms.
Transmitting the infection can take place through intercourse and is more likely to be contracted if you have several partners.
Because there are commonly no symptoms, Chlamydia can lie dormant for a long time before it is discovered. This is often sometimes too late, since the infection can lead to infertility and pelvic problems.
Treatment of Chlamydia is very simple and can be cured with a course of antibiotics. It can be diagnosed with a simple urine test and will be cleared up and non recurrent (unless contracted again).
