Chlamydia is not fatal.

Millions. See related link.Per the CDC, an estimated 2.86 million chlamydial infections occur annually (see related link). Projecting that figure, assuming 50% know and are treated, the number could be in the tens of millions.

In 2008, there were over 40,000 reported cases of chlamydia in Sweden. Because a person often has the infection without knowing, actual rates of infection are higher.
