Chlamydia-Disease Information: DSTD (Excerpt)
Safe sexual
behavior and seeking proper health care can help keep people from becoming
infected or re-infected with chlamydia and from experiencing chlamydia
complications.
-
Use
condoms correctly every time you have sex.
Persons who engage
in sexual behaviors that can place them at risk for STDs should use
latex or polyurethane condoms every time they have sex. A condom put on
the penis before starting sex and worn until the penis is withdrawn can
help protect both the male and the female partner from chlamydia. When a
male condom cannot be used appropriately, sex partners should consider
using a female condom
Common methods of birth control, like the
oral contraceptive pill or the contraceptive shot or implant, do not
give women protection from STDs. Women who use these methods should also
use condoms every time they have sex to prevent STDs.
Condoms do
not provide complete protection from all STDs. Sores and lesions of
other STDs on infected men and women may be present in areas not covered
by the condom, resulting in transmission of infection to a new
person.
-
Limit the
number of sex partners, and do not go back and forth between
partners.
Practice sexual abstinence, or limit sexual contact
to one uninfected partner.
-
Get a
screening test.
If you are young, sexually active, and do not
use condoms correctly every time you have sex, you should be screened
for chlamydia at least once a year. It has been shown that screening and
treatment of women with chlamydia infection of the cervix reduces the
likelihood of PID. All pregnant women should have a screening test for
chlamydia.

Chlamydia: NWHIC (Excerpt)
The easiest and most effective way to avoid chlamydial infections and
other STDs is by abstaining from sexual intercourse. If you do have sex,
using condoms (rubbers) or diaphragms during sexual intercourse may help
reduce the transmission of chlamydial bacteria. Many doctors recommend
that all persons who have more than one sex partner, especially women
under 25, be tested for chlamydial infection regularly, even in the
absence of symptoms. (Source: excerpt from Chlamydia: NWHIC)
