Popis:	derived from a variety of sources suggest that 3-4 million persons are infected with chlamydia annually.3 Women bear disproportionate consequences from gonorrhea and chlamydia because of the risk of pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), which often leads to such adverse sequelae as infertility and ectopic pregnancy. Some bacterial or viral STDs may affect infants either in utero or at birth. Additionally, other population subgroups are at increased risk of STDs. STD infection is more prevalent among blacks than among members of other racial groups, and is more common among those of low socioeconomic status than among those of higher status.4 Race and socioeconomic status may be different manifestations of the same phenomenon, but this supposition has not been unequivocally demonstrated. In any case, these two characteristics are clearly related to adverse health conditions, including cancer, diabetes and cardiovascular diseases, as well as STDs and AIDS.5
