Chlamydia

The dirty disease, the silent disease, "the clam" and "the gooey stuff."

The first line of treatment for placental abruption involves replacing the mother's lost blood with blood transfusions and fluids given through a needle in a vein. Oxygen will be administered, usually by a mask or through tubes leading to the nose.

Chlamydia can't be made from vomit. It's made from its parent bacteria. Are you asking if vomit can carry chlamydia and infect someone who's cleaning it up? No.

Estimates from Canadian research on chlamydia prevalence estimate that about 158,000 Canadians have chlamydia at any one time, representing about 0.7% of Canadians aged 14 to 59. (see related link).

You would have known if you had it for 20 years. I have a friend that had chlamydia and she knew that she had it about 1-2 weeks after getting it. She started to have all kinds of symptoms down there that I won't mention then she went to the doctor and they found out she had chlamydia. So by what I have learned from her, you could not have had it for 20 years with out knowing.

Chlamydia will likely recur in exposed to the bacteria again. Among teen females, one in four to one in five will have chlamydia again within two years of treatment. It is critical that all patients get retested for chlamydia three months after treatment. Annual testing and testing with a new partner are also important.
