(Vocus) December 10, 2009 -- Given the rising number of sexually transmitted infections (STIs), the Institute of Women’s Health of North America will be offering free testing for Chlamydia at all six affiliated campuses in the State of Florida. This was announced by Abdul Rao, MD, MA, DPhil., Chief Executive Officer and Chief Research Officer of the Institute in a meeting with health care providers in Polk county yesterday.

Chlamydia, which is caused by Chlamydia trachomatis, is the most common sexually transmitted infection (STI) in the United States. In 2006, over a million cases of Chlamydia infection were reported in the U.S.; a number, generally believed to be grossly underestimated since most individuals infected with Chlamydia are not aware of their infection nor do they seek testing and treatment. Based on the U.S. National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, an estimated 2,291,000 non-institutionalized individuals between the ages of 14-39 years are infected with Chlamydia in this country.

Chlamydia infection is found in both men and women and can be transmitted during vaginal, anal, or oral sex. It can also be transmitted by an infected mother to a newborn during vaginal delivery.
