Nashuatelegraph.com: The sexually transmitted disease chlamydia is on the rise in N.H.
"The sexually transmitted disease chlamydia is on the rise in N.H.
The New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), Division of Public Health Services says the number of cases of chlamydia, a sexually transmitted disease, reported in New Hampshire increased from 1,611 in 2003 to 2,055 in 2007. The numbers for 2008 are still being compiled, but the total number of reported cases is 2,096, which also represents an increase.
“We never like to see an increase in disease,” said Dr. José Montero, Director of Public Health at DHHS. “This is a preventable and treatable illness, so more education should go a long way toward reducing these numbers. Regular testing is also recommended to make sure people do not have the disease but don’t know it. Some of the increase, however, may actually be due to more awareness and therefore more testing. It takes a while for the numbers to decrease once awareness is raised.”"
