Known as the silent epidemic – 61,000,000 people a year are diagnosed with chlamydia. Many have no obvious symptoms until years after being infectedΒ πŸ€”

Symptoms include inflammation, discharge, bleeding and pain passing urine. Fertility and pregnancy complications are common. It can easily be spread to the eyes and is a common cause of chronic conjunctivitis that eventually leads to blindness πŸ‘©β€πŸ¦― The photo from SOA-AIDS Amsterdam, shows an inflamed cervix infected with chlamydia.

It was first described in the famous Ebers Papyrus of 1550BC – a 20 metre long Egyptian medical scroll – where it was known as the β€˜blinding disease’. It was thought to be a virus until a study through an electron microscopeπŸ”¬Β in 1966 proved it to be a bacteriumΒ πŸ¦ Β β€“ one that has survived the fall of civilisations. Be careful out thereΒ πŸ˜‰
