Prevention of gonorrhea and chlamydia • STDs are hidden epidemics. • STDs are public health problems that lack easy solutions because they are rooted in human behavior and fundamental societal problems. • First problem: reluctance to confront issues surrounding sexuality and STDs. • Multifaceted approach necessary at individual and community levels.
Prevention of gonorrhea and chlamydia • Abstain from sexual contact, or be in a long-term mutually monogamous relationship with a partner who has been tested and is not infected. • Latex male condoms, when used consistently and correctly, can reduce the risk of transmission. • Chlamydia testing yearly for all sexually active women ≤25 years of age. Annual screening also for all pregnant women and older women with risk factors for chlamydia (a new sex partner or multiple sex partners). • An infected person who has been treated should notify all recent sex partners so they can seek treatment. The patient and all their sex partners must avoid sex until their treatment has been completed.
