Sharp rise in cases of chlamydia

Hunter health authorities have launched a chlamydia campaign to combat the growing number of young people being infected with the sexually transmitted disease.

In the Hunter New England Health region the number of reported cases has more than doubled over the past five years.

In 2007 there were 1751 reported cases of chlamydia, and in 2006 there were 1857 cases. This is compared to 402 cases in 1999.

Anti-chlamydia campaign targets 300,000

Some 315,000 people aged 16 to 29 are to be urged to have themselves tested for the sexually-transmitted disease chlamydia in the first major screening of its kind.

Those targeted will be sent a letter asking them to order an online test. The results will also be posted online. The project is being carried out by the STD prevention agency among youngsters in Amsterdam, Rotterdam and parts of Limburg.

Some 70% of women and 50% of men are not aware of having the disease which can lead to sterility.
