Gonorrhea Risk Test
"If Chlamydia infections go untreated in females, they can lead to serious reproductive and other serious health problems as scarring of the fallopian tubes and causing pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) PID which can cause permanent damage to the fallopian tubes, uterus, and surrounding tissues. The damage can lead to chronic pelvic pain and can affect fertility, and also lead to potential fatal ectopic pregnancy (pregnancy outside the uterus). Women infected with chlamydia are up to five times more likely to become infected with HIV if exposed. Untreated Chlamydia also can lead to, which can affect the vagina, cervix, uterus, fallopian tubes, and ovaries. In some cases PID has no symptoms, but often causes abdominal or lower back pain, painful urination, pain during intercourse, bleeding between menstrual periods, nausea, vomiting, fatigue, or fever.

In males, untreated infections can lead to epididymitis, an inflammation of the coiled tubes in the back of the testicles the tubes that carries sperm from the testis. This can cause pain, testicular swelling, and even infertility."

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.
