ATLANTA - More than 1 million cases of chlamydia were reported in the United States last year — the most ever reported for a sexually transmitted disease, federal health officials said Tuesday. ADVERTISEMENT

Officials at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said they think better and more intensive screening accounts for much of the increase, but added that chlamydia was not the only sexually transmitted disease on the rise.

Gonorrhea rates are jumping again after hitting a record low, and an increasing number of cases are caused by a "superbug" version resistant to common antibiotics.

And chickens give you bird flu, and a slab of liver and a hand vibrator gives you Cruzfeltz-Jacobs disease.

HAHAHAHAH!

You mean “have had” not “have”

YAHOOO, that is funny!!!!

[ken21]

no.

i mean “have”.

as in “have now”. in many instances it doesn’t go away.

for example, chlamydia causes damage before many women are aware they even have it. infertility is irreversible.

for example, genital herpes can stay in the body forever.

so, i mean “have”.
