To be honest, no I didn't see the data Kading posted. Real world? Tell me how it is, will you please?
Gladly. The CDC publishes data about the highest recorded number of
identified chlamydia cases in the US (compared only to previous US figures) and the world-would-be-better-without-the-Godless-kaffir-crowd gathers round to watch the walls of Neo-Gomorrah come tumbling down, clucking all the time. I hope someone brought the all-beef franks and a bar-b-q.
Note that the rate of treatable STD's is lower in North America than it is in North Africa and the Middle East.
Note also that there is a new emphasis on routine screeing of young women for chlamydia with a
new simple urine test. The old methodology was slow and cumbersome, requiring a culture and an invasive exam to obtain the culture. The tratment for chlamydia is fairly easy so the old approach was to simply treat anyone who had symptoms or high risk behavior and
might have chlamydia. Note also that this old approach was
not reportable. With the new test done routinely during routine, preventive exams, the
laboratory is required to report positives to the CDC.
Can you see where I am going with this?
Of course, you could continue to insult at least 80% of the English-speaking world by making childish generalizations about the US and UK. Enjoy the Bar BQ
