Chlamydia is on the rise, especially among women under 26 years. The latest statistics showed 1,030,911 new cases in the year 2006, but CDC scientists believe that the real number is closer to 2.8 million. Chlamydia can cause pelvic inflammatory disease, entopic pregnancies and infertility in women.
Between 1975 and 1997, the rate of gonorrhea dropped 75%, only to rise the past two years to about 700,000 new cases annually.
