What is chlamydia?
Chlamydia trachomatis is a bacterium that can cause an STI. Chlamydia infection is very common among young adults and teenagers. However, many people do not know that they have chlamydia, because although they are infected they may not have any symptoms. About 75% of infected women and half of infected men have no symptoms of chlamydia.
