SIGN of the TIMES:Chlamydia common among young women and men

NEW YORK-A large number of people between the ages of 14 and 39 years have chlamydia, a sexually transmitted disease, a new report indicates, while gonorrhea, another STD, is less prevalent.Based on 6,632 people ages 14 to 39 tested for chlamydia and gonorrhea between 1999 and 2002, researchers estimate that 2.2 percent of Americans in this age range,a little more than 2 out of every 100,have Chlamydia infection and that 0.24 percent,fewer than 1 out of every 400,have gonorrhea infection.Sexually active adolescents, especially girls, bear the brunt of chlamydia and gonorrhea infection, according to Dr. S. Deblina Datta and colleagues from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Atlanta. Almost half of those found to have gonorrhea also had chlamydia.Young women, who are targeted for chlamydia screening and are at risk for long-term effects of the infection, had an "unacceptably high burden" of chlamydia infection, Datta and colleagues report in the Annals of Internal Medicine, released today
The data also show roughly equal prevalence of chlamydia and gonorrhea between males and females and disproportionately high rates among non-Hispanic black persons.

PS:Sexual promiscuity has its consecuences.Many years ago we started seeing and increasing number of shyphillis cases,mainly transmitted through homosexual interaction.I believe many erradicated or almost erradicated diseases are gonna start resurfacing at alarming rates,just because of promiscuity.We are at such a low point as morals in society that now as low as 10 year olds get engaged in "oral sex" which they don't consider sex at all.I wonder where are the commited parenting we need in this hour?If we leave sexual education to the hands of public schools-like it's happening already...I cannot even picture that!!!!
As in the days of Noah....
