To Be Sexually Active - Advice From SHE

Warning!!!
For guys who think it is Ok to be sexually active (even with multiple partners).

There is a very nasty sexually transmitted infection that we often don’t want to talk about, it is called Chlamydia. It is a serious health threat. It is known as a "silent" disease because about half of infected men have no symptoms. It can spread from the urethra to the testicles. Then it can result in a condition called epididymitis. Acute epididymitis can cause sterility.

It is not an incurable infection. It can easily be cure if one goes for treatment within 1 to 3 weeks after exposure. After which it becomes almost undetectable and might cause permanent disability.

Chlamydia is 4 times as common as gonorrhea, more than 30 times as common as syphilis and most common among women and men under 25. And one of the major causes of pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) in young women.

Those vulnerable to Chlamydia are people who have multiple sex partners; those whose sex partners have a number of different sex partners and those with a history of other sexually transmitted infections. This is not to scare you, NO. Just a reminder that abstinence remains the best option.
