Under the white coat
On my way home last night, I saw an advert for the National Chlamydia Screening Programme on a bus shelter. It seems my concerns about the message not being spread is not really valid after all. Hope the advert is a success!
I saw a worrying story on the BBC health site today. It concerns chlamydia screening in the UK. It seems the story is based on some research which can be found here. A provional PDF of the research can be found here (Note this link may break in the future). As the BBC article points out, chlamydia is a “silent infection”. You do not get any obvious signs of having caught the infection. With current rates are rising you would like to hope that promoting screening would be a higher proirity. It still seems that some things are still taboo.
