STD Patient

The yearly report of  U.S Centers for Disease Control Prevention reveals that the rate of STD falls in the United States.  The proportion of most common sexual disease dropped after a long time period of three decades.

The Health authorities notify that Chlamydia cases cut down around 1.5 percent in 2013.  The report shows that every year approximately 1.4 million cases of Chlamydia emerged in the US.  The proportion is relatively bigger as compared to the other sexually transmitted disease.

Chlamydia is a commonly transmitted sexual disease. A bacterium known as Chlamydia trachomtis is responsible for this deadly disease. Generally, Chlamydia does not show any symptoms because of which it is known as silent disease. It directly infects the reproductive system of the women.  It can be cured through strong antibiotics.

Moreover, the report unveils that proportion of the most transmittable kind of syphilis increase up to 10 percent. Last year, around 17,375 cases of major and minor syphilis reported.

The U.S Center for Disease Control and Prevention also found that gonorrhea cases decreased 1 percent. However, the cases of drug resistant gonorrhea increased to a great extent.

The government health agency reported that initial screening and diagnosis is necessary to avert the transmission and complication of STDs. Therefore, sexually active bisexual and gay men should go through complete STD screening every year.

U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention CDC have released in their annual report that the nation’s most common sexually transmitted diseases have become slightly less common for the first time in well over three decades. However, a rare but highly contagious form of STD has seen a rapid rise as well.

Chlamydia fell by 1.5 % last year according to the report but it is still the most widespread STD and 1.4 million new cases were reported. It causes infection and if not treated timely, it can damage a woman’s reproductive system. This infection can be cured easily by administering antibiotics.

Syphilis, one of its most contagious forms rose about 10 percent. Syphilis is quite common among men especially among gay men who accounted for 75 % of the diagnosed cases in 2013. It can also be treated easily by the use of antibiotics, but if not treated in due time, it can lead to blindness, paralysis and stroke. It can also increase risks for HIV.

Gonorrhea declined also but by less than 1 percent. A new form of this STD has also gained fame because of its drug resistant abilities.

CDC also stated that all sexually active individuals including pregnant women should opt for annual screening for all STDs. In addition to this, the use of safe-sex practices and condom use can significantly lower the chances of catching STDs.
