How many times can you go to the doctor and not be infected with chlamydia?
In spite of strong recommendations for regular screening, rates of chlamydia screening per evidence based guidelines are still low in the US. Among insured women in 2011, less than half were screened for chlamydia in the past year. For women insured with Medicaid, the rates were around 57%.You can't assume that your health care provider is testing you regularly for chlamydia.Ask specifically for the test.If you are under 26 and haven't been screened in the last year, ask your health care provider why.If your provider is not giving you adequate care, find a provider with experience and an evidence-based set of practices for helping you to maintain your sexual health.
