Record 1 Million Cases of Chlamydia Reported in the U.S. Last Year
More than 1 million cases of chlamydia were reported in the United States last year — the most ever reported for a sexually transmitted disease, federal health officials said Tuesday.
"A new U.S. record," said Dr. John M. Douglas Jr. of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
More bad news: Gonorrhea rates are jumping again after hitting a record low, and an increasing number of cases are caused by a "superbug" version resistant to common antibiotics, federal officials said Tuesday.
Syphilis is rising, too. The rate of congenital syphilis — which can deform or kill babies — rose for the first time in 15 years.
"Hopefully we will not see this turn into a trend," said Dr. Khalil Ghanem, an infectious diseases specialist at Johns Hopkins University's School of medicine.
The CDC releases a report each year on chlamydia, gonorrhea and syphilis, three diseases caused by sexually transmitted bacteria.
Chlamydia is the most common. Nearly 1,031,000 cases were reported last year, up from 976,000 the year before.
The count broke the single-year record for reported cases of a sexually transmitted disease, which was 1,013,436 cases of gonorrhea, set in 1978.
Putting those numbers into rates, there were about 349 cases of chlamydia per 100,000 people in 2006, up 5.6 percent from the 329 per 100,000 rate in 2005.
CDC officials say the chlamydia record may not be all bad news: They think the higher number is largely a result of better and more intensive screening.
For more than 10 years, the CDC has recommended annual screening in sexually active women ages 15 to 25. Meanwhile, urine and swab tests for the bacteria are getting better and are used more often, for men as well as women, said Douglas, director of the CDC's Division of Sexually Transmitted Disease Prevention.
About three-quarters of women infected with chlamydia have no symptoms. Left untreated, the infection can spread and ultimately can lead to infertility. It's easily treated if caught early.
Health officials believe as many as 2.8 million new cases may actually be occurring each year, he added.
Gonorrhea is a different story.
In 2004, the nation's gonorrhea rate fell to 113.5 cases per 100,000 people in 2004, the lowest level since the government started tracking cases in 1941.
But since then, health officials have seen two consecutive years of increases. The 2006 rate — about 121 per 100,000 — represents a 5.5 percent increase from 2005.
Health officials don't know exactly how many superbug cases there were among the more than 358,000 gonorrhea cases reported in 2006. But a surveillance project of 28 cities found that 14 percent were resistant to ciprofloxacin and other medicines in the fluoroquinolones class of antibiotics.
Similar samples found that 9 percent were resistant to those antibiotics in 2005, and 7 percent were resistant in 2004. The appearance of the superbug has been previously reported, and the CDC is April advised doctors to stop using those drugs against gonorrhea.
Douglas said it doesn't look like the superbugs are the reason for gonorrhea's escalating numbers overall, but they're not sure what is driving the increase.
Other doctors are worried. The superbug gonorrhea has been on the rise not only in California and Hawaii, where the problem has been most noticeable, but also in the South and parts of the Midwest.
"Suddenly we're starting to see the spread," Ghanem said.
Syphilis, a potentially deadly disease that first shows up as genital sores, has become relatively rare in the United States. About 9,800 cases of the most contagious forms or syphilis were reported in 2006, up from about 8,700 in 2005.
The rate rose from 2.9 cases per 100,000 people to 3.3, a 14 percent increase.
For congenital syphilis, in which babies get syphilis from their mothers, the rate rose only slightly from the previous year to 8.5 cases per 100,000 live births.

Fendi -- you get what you pay for
You get what you pay for, but man banging a 19 year old blond -haired blue-eyed 19 year old multiple times as hard as you like is worth the $220 she charges in my book. She doesn't do quickies. She doesn't do half hours. But man if you've got $220 to blow and you like to fuck for a long time. This girl is not only game, she's into it. I'm feeling good:
Off to a bad start: Mallisa
Called Mallisa today at around 9:20pm and she said she was free for the night. I said I lived about an hour away and she said it was okay. I never called a CL ad before so I wasn't sure how to meet up with the provider. I asked her where she was located in Northridge and she told me the intersection. I asked if I should call her when I get to the place, but she told me to call again when I'm about 15 minutes away.
So I call her at around 10:30pm just as I was getting off the freeway and got her voice mail and left a message. I kind of knew I was going to get stood up at that point, but I tried to stay positive and hope she would call back. I called her again when I actually got to the intersection about ten minutes later and got her voicemail again. I left another message telling her that I was already at the intersection and that I would stay in the area until about 11:30pm since her ad said she would be available until midnight. I got cut off by the voicemail just as I mentioned that I would only stay until 11:30. So I tried calling again to finish my message, but it said that her voicemail inbox was full. At this point I was sure I wasn't going to meet up with her.
I ended up kicking back at a nearby In n' Out eating animal style fries and drinking pink lemonade from 10:45pm to 11:30pm. I tried calling again at 11:30 to let her know that I was leaving, but her mailbox was still full.
I would have loved to bone her because she looks so hot in her pictures and I've heard good things about her. Oh well, that probably won't be the last time a provider flakes on me if I decide to continue with CL. I'll probably end up jerking off to my Boner Jams 03 mix tape before I go to bed tonight. I might call her again in the future but I'll have to already be in the area for some other reason in case she flakes again.
I hope you guys have better luck with her.
