Health authorities in New Zealand are concerned by the rising rates of chlamydia in west Auckland. It has become the most common sexually transmitted disease in the area with young people being affected more than ever.
According to local statistics, 322 cases were reported between 2006 and 2007 in west Auckland, up 14% on the previous year’s figures. In that same report, women aged 15 to 24 and men from 20 to 24 are most commonly affected.
Chlamydia can lead to other serious health problems including pelvic infections and infertility if left untreated.
This report has raised concerns among health professionals in New Zealand, as it means that promotion for safe sex is not getting through to a lot of young people. Condom use among the youth is not prevalent.
Doctors recommend to the youth to have themselves tested for chlamydia within three weeks after having unprotected sex with a new partner. They also call for routine screening to combat chlamydia after a trial screening program in Wellington last year.
The study was carried out over six months on sexually active youths under 25 years old who were offered free chlamydia testing. Eight percent of those tested were positive.
Symptoms for chlamydia do not appear until three weeks after contact, sometimes there aren’t any symptoms at all, so people may not realize that they have it. It has to be treated immediately after diagnosis to prevent devastating health consequences like not being able to have children, ectopic pregnancy, and chronic pain. Chlamydia can also cause eye and lung infections in infants born to women who have the sexually transmitted infection.

I am a beginner hunter and trying to find a good hunting rifle. I looked at different calibers of hunting rifles and sort of narrowed it down to these 4:- 270 Winchester- 30-06 Springfield- 308 Winchester- 7 MM-08 Remington. Which of the above calibers would you recommend? 30-06 keeps coming up in a lot of places, so I’m kind of leaning towards that one. But I wanted to find out about the other ones. $500 would be my cut off and I would like it to come with a scope. Nothing fancy, I probably won’t even know the difference. I guess I just want to make sure that the rifle itself is a good one. I will be hunting big game in Colorado, although one of the things that’s attractive about the 30-06 is the wide range of ammunition that it can take. It said that with lower grain bullets you can hunt smaller game, which would also be nice. Any comments would be very appreciated. Thanks.

Between me and my husband we’ve owned more MP3 players over the years than I can count, including Sansas, iRivers, iPods (classic & touch), the Ibiza Rhapsody, etc. But, the last few years I’ve settled down to one line of players. Why? Because I was happy to discover how well-designed and fun to use the underappreciated (and widely mocked) Zunes are.
I like your way of writing! You should post more often…
how many people are contributing to this blog?
it will be great if you add a translation widget on your blog…

We consulted with a couple of family memebers who had not seen either webpage before to look them both over. And they voted for your blog. Thanks for maintaing a great site.

I reckon the information laid out in your publication is actually excellent. I’ve been working on a preliminary research project regarding this topic and your article really assisted with a number of considerations that I had. I am composing a research paper for college and I?m currently following several blogs for review.

I am speechless. This is a great blog and very engaging too. Nice work! That’s not really much coming from an amateur publisher like me, but it’s all I could say after reading your posts. Excellent grammar and vocabulary. Not like other blogs. You really know what you’re talking about too. So much that you made me want to learn more. Your blog has become a stepping stone for me, my friend. Thanks for the articulate journey. I really enjoyed the 6 posts that I have read so far.

You had outstanding guidelines here. I did an exploration on the issue and identified that possibly plenty of people will agree with your blog.
