possible weak connection
Mr. Diesel, what was the source of your quote? I'm interested in this statement "Women infected with chlamydia are up to five times more likely to become infected with HIV if exposed". I'm not so sure what the details of that factoid really are, its possible that the only connection between chlamydia and hiv are the statistics which are largely influenced by behavior, not the disease. I think some of these assertions can be harmful at times, affecting not only public stigma, but making it difficult for some people to get affordable health insurance. It is necessary to source quotes, and do homework. Here is a story specifying connections between hiv and std's.
