Individual Interventions for Chlamydia

Individual-level intervention is essential when developing sexual health-related intervention for university students. Interventions targeting individual socio-ecological models have been designed to influence individual knowledge, perception and self-efficacy among other factors (Glanz & Rimer, 2005). To find related literature, both PubMed and Google Scholar quote the following search terms: 'STI', 'Screening', 'Behavior', 'Knowledge', 'Chlamydia', 'Student' and 'University ".

Chlamydia is a bacterial infection caused by bacterial Chlamydia trachomatis. In this case I am talking about Chlamydia infection as a sexually transmitted disease, but it is possible to infect Chlamydia in other ways and areas not related to other gender (most commonly as eye infection). Chlamydia has become the most frequently reported infection in Australia. In 2012, more than 80,000 cases were reported. Chlamydia is often referred to as a sexually transmitted disease of young people because more than 80% of infectious diseases occur in people under 29 years of age. I saw many people over the age of 30 diagnosing Chlamydia infection in my office so do not let me make you better.

Chlamydia: Chlamydia is the most common sexually transmitted disease in Australia, the most common report of all legal infections in Australia. It is caused by bacterial Chlamydia trachomatis. It is usually asymptomatic, but it can also cause discharge of sex organs (such as pelvic inflammatory diseases), as well as discharge and blindness of newborn babies born to women infected with asymptomatic Chlamydia. If Chlamydia is not treated with a woman, it could lead to infertility. Syphilis: Syphilis is a bacterial infection caused by Treponema pallidum. It is sometimes still asymptomatic, but it may also cause genital damage, ulcers and discharge. Infection usually undergoes an infection phase and a non-infection phase where the symptoms are resolved when bacteria become dormant. Syphilis is transmitted mostly through sex; pregnant women to fetus also spread during pregnancy.
