From the Paper
"Chlamydia is a curable sexually transmitted disease caused by bacteria called Chlamydia trachomalis. It can be contracted during oral vaginal or anal sexual contact with an infected partner. The bacteria live in vaginal fluid or semen. The infection may move inside the body if not treated and infect the cervix fallopian tubes and urinary canal. It can cause pelvic inflammatory disease. Chlamydia can sometimes occur without producing symptoms. Symptoms usually occur one to three weeks after infection. There may be an abnormal discharge of mucus ... "

From the Paper
"According to the CDC's "Surveillance 2006" report on Chlamydia, in 2000, for the first time, all fifty states and the District of Columbia had regulations requiring the reporting of Chlamydia cases. This suggests that regarding the demographic composition of the groups primarily affected by the disease, data after 2000 is likely to be most reliable. In 2006, for the first time reported cases of Chlamydia were said to have exceeded one million, corresponding to a rate of 347.8 cases per 100,000 members of the population, an increase of 5.6% compared with the rate of 329.4 in 2005. As a point of comparison, the reported number of Chlamydial infections was almost three times the number of reported cases of gonorrhea.
"While during the years 1997-2001, Chlamydia rates in the southern region of the United States were slightly higher than in any other region of the country, from the years 2002-2006, overall the numbers leveled throughout Midwestern, western, and southern states, remaining lowest in the northeast. (It should be noted once again that post-2000 data is likely to be more comprehensive). In 2006, rates of reported infection increased in the south, west, and northeast (363.3, 357.9, 299.0 cases per 100,000 population, respectively) and remained the same in the Midwest (352.4 cases)."

From the Paper
"Commonly known as gonorrhea, this is a very contagious sexually transmitted disease caused by the bacterium, called neisseria gonorrhea (Norris, 1997; NWHRC, 2005). It is also called "the clap." Increased public awareness and the AIDS scare significantly brought the incidence down since the 80s. However, as many as 400,000 to a million still remain at risk of contracting it every year in the United States alone. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention reported 351,853 cases in 2002 alone, although it believes the number should double this. Estimated risks remain at this level on account of the private nature of the disease and the lack of tendency to report it. Most reported cases come from public health clinics (Norris, NWHRC). It increases the risk of contracting pelvic inflammatory disease or PID, infertility, ectopic pregnancy, and HIV (Justensen, 2007)."

Abstract
Chlamydia is the most prevalent sexually transmitted disease in America. It is a bacterial infection, readily treated with antibiotics, but often produces no symptoms. Chlamydia infects approximately four million people a year in the United States. This paper looks at the cause of the disease, its signs and symptoms, how it is treated, what nurses need to know when treating Chlamydia patients and how to prevent the transmission of Chlamydia during sexual intercourse

From the Paper
"About half of all cases of Chlamydia infection occur in girls between the ages of 16 and 19, and as many as one in 10 sexually active teenage girls may be infected (2). This is because the immature cervix in girls is lined with fresh tissue easily susceptible to bacterial infection. The danger from infection with Chlamydia is that the infection does not stop at the cervix, but moves up to include the uterus and fallopian tubes, and the damage it causes may go undetected for years. Chlamydia infection may result in infertility by causing inflammation of the fallopian tubes, resulting in scarring and closing off of the tubes, preventing fertilization of eggs. This condition is known as pelvic inflammatory disease, a condition that affects up to one million women in the United States, and half of these cases may be due to Chlamydia."

Abstract
The paper describes the disease and the associated complications. It lists the advantages of screening for the disease and goes on to describe the prescribed treatment. Prevention of contraction is also discussed.

From the Paper
"Chlamydia is one of the most common sexually transmitted bacteria infections in the United States (Knowles 1). The complete name for it is chlamydia (klak-MIH-dee-ah) (trachomatis (trah-ko-MAH-tis). This disease can infect the penis, vagina, anus, urethra, or eyes. It has been know for causing blindness for centuries. Chlamydia is a sexually transmitted disease. The problem with this STD is that there may be no symptoms. Over three million American women and men have this disease each year. This disease has been reported to cause more than 250,000 cases of acute epididymitis. "Epididymitis can lead to sterility" (Knowles 1)."

Abstract
This proposal focuses on a descriptive study that will verify through research whether the 1999 Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) reiteration of its position on STD treatment guidelines make sense. The proposed study quantitatively measures the amount of Chlamydia Trachomatis in a convenience sample of male and female clients between the ages of sixteen and twenty-one (16-21). The research requires each subject to consent to a voluntary urine amplified specimen collection in order to meet the lab testing requirements for testing for Chlamydia. Justification is based on an opportunity for health plans to create new guidelines for bottom line improvements within the healthcare system.

From the Paper
"Adolescents and young adults have the highest rates of Chlamydia infections compared with other age groups (Jensen, Fogh, & Prag, 2003). Early detection of this infection can reduce disease spread and prevent the sequelae of untreated Chlamydia infections (Perkins, Carlisle, & Jackson, 2003). Even with considerable advances in the medical field, today Chlamydial infections continue to pose a threat to the health and welfare of individuals. Chlamydia infections frequently are asymptomatic, (Colvin, 2000) so screening programs have been emphasized but, unfortunately several obstacles reduce the likelihood that persons in this age group will be screened."

Abstract
This paper offers a review and analysis of the 2009 article published by Medical News Today entitled "Health Departments React with Alarm to New CDC Surveillance Data," while the Center for Disease Control (CDC) has published alarming statistics that suggest suggesting sexually transmitted diseases (STD) in America overall have grown more prevalent. The paper explains that the CDC also notes that rates of certain STDs, specifically Chlamydia, have increased at an even more alarming rate. The paper notes that the age-related figures, however alarming, may also be conservative because such a large number of those affected appear to be young. The paper concludes that young people may be more apt to shun screening, despite their greater risk of contracting the illness, because of fear of their parents discovering their complaint; they also may not know the risk of the illness, and the risk the illness may pose to their health and fertility, and may have difficulty accessing clinics.

From the Paper
"Still, the CDC suggests that family planning clinics are the most accurate places the illness. However, it admits: "Chlamydia positivity in women attending clinics is an estimate of prevalence; it is not true prevalence. Crude positivity may include those women who are tested two or more times during a single year. Comparisons of positivity with prevalence have shown that in family planning clinics, positivity is generally similar to or slightly higher than prevalence, and in STD clinics, positivity is somewhat lower than prevalence; however, these differences are usually small" STD Surveillance Report, 2007, CDC, pp. 13-15). Individuals who come to women's or STD clinics may not be representative of the population, and may be more likely to manifest prevalence of the ailment or not to manifest prevalence because of more frequent testing."

Abstract
This paper examines the current and historical causes of STD's with a particular focus on chlamydia, HPV, gonorrhea, AIDS, and herpes. It uses statistics and several graphs in order to show the growing trend of STD's, the cause for that growth and concludes with methods of prevention.

From the Paper
"Sexually transmitted diseases appear to have always been a societal menace. At least, that is the impression garnered from recorded history. There is evidence of gonorrhea outbreaks dating as far back as 2200 B.C.E. (Spongberg, 1965: 23). Since that time, numerous new STDs and countless variations and mutations of existing STDs have arisen. Although infection rates have remained relatively constant throughout the ages, there have been occasional spikes as new diseases become prevalent. In the early 1970 s, a surge of previously unknown STDs caused infection rates to soar to record heights (CDC, 1998). Today, there are an estimated 333 million cases of STD infection (WHO, 1996). This is a staggering number, compared to the estimated 150 million of 1960 (CDC, 1998). Fortunately, in the past two decades our medical technology has allowed us to treat and sometimes totally cure STDs that have existed for centuries. Our medical understanding of STDs has also reached new heights, allowing us to educate and inform the general public of the risks involved with unprotected sexual intercourse. However, while one might expect that our new arsenal of knowledge and medicine would be ample weaponry against STDs, infection rates have continued to rise over the last few decades (WHO, 1998). Although infection rates have slowed slightly, sexually transmitted diseases are still as prevalent, if not more so, than they were a generation ago."

"Infant Breastfeeding is preferable to bottle feeding for infants because it provides the right balance of fatty acids, lactose, water and amino acids for human digestion, brain development and growth. FDA Studies have shown that breast-fed babies are healthier and have fewer infections than formula fed babies because breast milk transfers antibodies from the mother to the baby protecting them from such diseases as pneumonia, botulism, bronchitis, staphylococcal infections, influenza ,ear infections and German measles. However, mothers who are taking certain medications such as chemotherapy drugs, lithium..."
