A Story of Infidelity and Chlamydia This is a story of a close friend and one night that would change the rest of his and our lives. His name was MMMM; he had always been the popular kid in our high school. He was the star quarterback for our senior football team; coming from wealthy parents, he drove the hottest muscle car, and always had the hottest girls chasing him. Even in college, after we had all settled down from the partying and drinking, he continued without skipping a beat. It wouldn’t be until one night, that all of that would change. MMM had finally met a girl that he really liked. They ended up in serious relationship going on two years. She was a good, conservative girl that didn’t drink or party much, and mainly kept to herself. His persistent, flirtatious nature had finally won her over. She was soon to graduate, but MMM still had a year or two left. The sad part was he would still go back to bars to mingle with other women. He would tell me of his one-night stands all the time. I always felt bad for his girlfriend, as she did not deserve this. MMMM always said, “I’m just getting it out of my system, before I get married.” As he got closer to graduating, more talks of marriage would come about. . Spring break week had come; all the guys had decided to go out and have a crazy night down on the strip. We went from bar to bar, having a good old time just like back in the day. MMM had found this incredibly gorgeous girl at one of the bars. By this time, we were quite intoxicated, and apparently so was this girl. Marco stumbled up to me, and said “I’m going to nail this chick, I’ll see you guys later!” and off they went. As usual, nobody thought anything of it, and we continued on with our night. About six mon... ... middle of paper ... ...ght of fun, with one girl he didn’t know is all it took to end everything for MMM. He got the most common STD in the United States, which was easily treatable, but what seemed to get him the worst, was the thought of hurting his girlfriend and losing her forever. Little did he know, his next actions would be far worse than simply being treated, and facing his girlfriend with what he had done. Not only did Chlamydia affect him and his girlfriend physically, but even more emotionally and mentally. Works Cited: Robinson, Angela. “Chlamydia.” http://www.netdoctor.co.uk. 23 July 2013.

Clinical Features. Chlamydia trachomatis is an infection that often goes unnoticed. Patients typically present asymptomatic and are only diagnosed after routine testing. Those that do have symptoms typically report an onset within two to three weeks after sexual contact. Because of the low occurrence of symptoms and the reluctance of patients to report symptoms, the incubation period is very vague with an estimate being around a few weeks. C. trachomatis grows slowly adding to the length of the incubation period.
act of sexual means such as oral, anal, kissing and genital contact. One of the most commonly reported STD in the United States is Chlamydia. The number of this infection is gradually increasing worldwide and costing billions of dollars to health care systems. Today, there is not set type of screening practice or a vaccine available for this infection to decrease globally. Presently, the only treatment available to help ease with the problem, temporarily, is in the form of an antibiotic, which has failed to halt the increase. As a result of this quickly spreading disease, the need for a vaccination to reduce the rate of the spread is desperately needed.
Chlamydial infection is the most common bacterial sexually transmitted disease in the United States today. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that more than 4 million new cases occur each year. The highest rates of chlamydial infection are in 15 to 19-year old adolescents regardless of demographics or location. Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), a serious complication of chlamydial infection, has emerged as a major cause of infertility among women of childbearing age. Chlamydial infection is caused by a bacterium, Chlamydial trachomatis, and can be transmitted during vaginal, oral, or anal sexual contact with an infected partner. A pregnant woman may pass the infection to her newborn during delivery, with subsequent neonatal eye infection or pneumonia. The annual cost of chlamydial infection is estimated to exceed $2 billion.
Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs) are the second major cause of unpleasant disease in young adult women worldwide (1). Genital infection of Chlamydia trachomatis is one of the most common STIs and considered as the most common treatable and preventable STIs and cause of infertility in women (2). Although infection with C. trachomatis has been suggested to be a cause of infertility due to the sequels on the genital tract, but in many hospitals and clinics do not be routine screening for C. trachomatis infections. Nowadays, detection of C. trachomatis infections has improved with development of nucleic acid based amplification methods such as polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in urine samples and most countries estab...

As Cliff walks into the Kit Kat club he enters the world of promiscuous uninhibited dancers, and people of the like. Men approach him to dance, and women entice him with their charms. He obviously wasn’t all that accustomed to this kind of happening, but he didn’t shy away from it. The first night he lived this almost unreal experience, he met a woman. Sally was a one of a kind woman of her time, being on her own, making her own living, whether that living be on stage or with a man who suits her interest for a while.
When I first met you, I didn’t think we were going to last as long as what we have. Actually, I didn’t think much of you at all when you and I first started talking. Of course, I thought you were attractive and you were fun to talk to. But at that point in my life I felt worthless. I was used by a guy before you and I didn’t believe any guy would ever have genuinely, good intentions for me. But Hunter, after the first date you and I had ever had, I went home feeling like there was something oddly different about you. Before you came and picked me up, I was worrying about my outfit and my hair constantly. I looked over myself for a good thirty minutes worrying I wouldn’t impress you. The amount of times I considered cancelling on you because I didn’t know what to expect was unreal. However, I felt this strange urge to keep pushing forward. I was scared you would think I was ugly because I had the gap in between in teeth, or some other dumb reason. But as I sat there in front of you at Moe’s, never had I ever had a guy look at me the way you did. Maybe, it was because you were equally as nervous as I was or maybe it was because you thought I was too good for you, just like I thought you were to good for me. But the way you
As you walk apprehensively onto the stage, the large audience howls those infamous expressions. You nervously seat yourself beside your fiancée not knowing what to expect; you are nervous and overcome with anxiety. Finally, Jerry, in his scratchy, high-pitched voice, utters those predictable words, "So, don't you have something to tell your boyfriend?" She turns to you, holding your hand in the most gentle and loving manner, gazes into your eyes and says, "Remember about four months ago when I disappeared that night at your parent's house? Well, that night your sister and I went to your old room and had a long talk. Since, you haven't paid me enough attention lately I have been sleeping with her ever since."
One gloomy day in October, Shaquan O’ Kelly went to a speed dating intervention at the Big Sandy Superstore Arena in Huntington, West Virginia. He wasn’t very enthusiastic about the intervention, because most of the women were just looking for child support money. Near the end of the intervention, he became very sad and doubtful about finding a girlfriend. When the last person came Shaquan knew she was the one…
Today it is no longer a novelty to hear that teenagers are having sex. However, while this “bedroom” activity may be fun, there are now ample reports indicating that rates of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) in teenagers have skyrocketed. Current data reveal that nearly 25% of adolescent girls who have sex are infected with one of the four commonly sexually transmitted infections-namely gonorrhea, chlamydia, herpes and HIV (Kann et al, 2015). Nationally, the prevalence of STDs account for 50% of cases in people under the age of 25. While every ethnic and race has been known to be affected, African American youth are disproportionately affected. These data are not a surprise to professionals who are engaged in adolescent sexual health because the numbers have been slowly creeping up over the decades, despite national educational policies to counter the threat of STDs (Sales & DiClemente, 2016). All the STDs have a significant impact on sexual and reproductive health, if they are mot promptly diagnosed and treated. Although many preventive strategies have been implemented in all communities, the rates of STDs are still increasing (Madkour et al, 2016).
There are multiple harm minimisation strategies that can be employed to deal the with emotional, social and physical risks of STI’s. Education systems that identify the commodity of STI’s in Australia assist primarily in the social and emotional, as it helps young people understand that STI’s are not as taboo as they once were, and that having an STI is not shameful or something that should be stigmatised. If young people are able to become more open about having an STI, then they can become more open to figuring out methods of protecting their partners against
...e greatest prank in our school’s history. And she stopped Mrs. DeCostia from stealing from Mrs. Redrik” Then he took my hand and led me down the hall, past all of my friends, to the stairs. I stopped. “What was that for?” “I was just giving credit where credit was due.” He slipped his hand into his pocket and pulled out a rather large ring. “You knew the whole time?!?” “Yeah when we and Matt moved the desk it fell out and I picked it up, I was waiting to give it back until DeCostia got busted.” “Oh my god…” “Anyway, what are we doing tonight? Movies, ice-cream, maybe some pizza?” “We’re hanging out tonight?” “Yeah I have to hang out with my girlfriend to celebrate the undermining of our psycho home wrecking teacher.” “Your girlfriend?” “Yeah...” He said into my hair as he put his hands around my waist and pulled me closer to him “Who else would I hang with tonight?”
