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.

Totally agree. If you care to view vinyl windows Toronto, new vinyl glass windows arrive in diverse shapes and sizes and although they are generally tough, there are manufacturers that are exceptional among the rest. But then yet again, new vinyl windows offer you far more advantage than traditional wooden house windows as they tend to last lengthier and that they are engineered to be more tough than the standard types of glass windows.If you are hunting for the finest and most durable brand name, then you can constantly try the Glass windows. What is Vinylwonderful about this brand is that they are produced from sturdy supplies. Moreover, the supplies are engineered to create something that is very strong and resistant to the distinct conditions of weather. check more at vinyl windows Toronto

There are numerous beginners guitar training sites promising this, and more absurd things, so be aware that if you notice a promise of learning the fretboard in a single afternoon, you could be facing a fraud. Learning how to play the guitar will take time, as with everything rewarding in life, but the payoff is enormous.

I like to visit your blog a couple times a week for new entries. I was wondering if you have any other topics you write about?
It might sound weird but my browser doesn’t seem to be able to display your article rightly… It looks like a whole chunk of if is not correctly displayed and the layout of the page doesn’t appear to be right. Can you confirm that this post has been set up for Opera?

Hello, My name is Todd Phelps aka Mr Shed Plans. Thank you for the great post I love reading your articles. I will come back soon to check for new articles. Thanks
Hello. I wanted to drop you a quick comment to express my thanks. I’ve been following your blog for a month or so and have picked up a great deal of good information as well as enjoyed the way you’ve setup your blog. I am attempting to setup my own blog but I think it’s far too general. I want to focus more on narrower topics. Being all things to all people is not all that its cracked up to be. Many thanks.
