Fun fact: People who have penises don't know they're carrying chlamydia 9 times out of ten because symptoms are rare for people who have penises.
It's not uncommon for cis dudes to face sterility issues and have NO IDEA why, because they've had asymptomatic chlamydia for so long it rendered them sterile.
Unfortunately, it's not the case for folks with vaginas, and it's much more dangerous for them. PID is a common result and it's not pretty.
And this is a problem in the US and isn't part of the "Immigration problem"
Every immigrant is blood tested. I run RPR's, STD panels and urine panels ALL NIGHT for immigration.
So that bs of "immigrants are causing disease" is nothing but xenophobia and racism.
And with that I'm done, I just overheard that bullshit at the gas station and I nearly got into a fight with the woman in front of me by telling her TX has more US born cases of the clap than immigrants bring in, and that I'd be more comfortable have sex with someone out of country than a Texan because they're filthy.
what makes it worse? People who DO get tested don't take their antibiotics properly and end up with a resistant strain, and sometimes they don't even realise it.
Worst thing ever is for a pregnant person to get DRCT because of what it can do in utero and during birth.
