Silent Disease: Frequent Screening for Chlamydia Recommended for All Sexually Active Adolescent Females - JAMA Patient Pages
Most people who have chlamydia don't realize that they have it. This sexually transmitted disease (STD) generally causes no symptoms or symptoms so mild that many who have the infection don't even realize it until they develop a serious complication. An article in the August 12, 1998, issue of The Journal of the American Medical Association (page 521) suggests that all sexually active girls and young women between the ages of 12 and 19 years be tested for chlamydial infection every six months. About a third of the sexually active girls and young women had at least one positive test result for chlamydia.
