Chlam and HIV
Women infected with chlamydia are up to five times more likely to become infected with HIV, if exposed.
I just read this on the cdc website. I know the person I was with a chlam when she was younger. She claimed that was the only thing she has ever had. Now I'm even more worried.
If I can give advice to some young people comming to the boad, know the person your with. Life is to fragile.

I can't read anymore. Thanx anyway.
BD, if she had the chlam and it was cleared up, then had sex with a person with HIV, her odds of contracting HIV would be the same as a person that never had chlam.
Sadly, and wrongly I used to think if a person had chlam & HIV, that the chlam was more viral, odds would be higher to contract chlam and the same 200:1 ratio would still apply of contracting HIV.
ACTUALLY THAT WAS FALSE (for all those that want to know I was mistaken)
The truth of the matter is, if a person has chlam and HIV the 2000:1 ratio decreases, meaning that the person is more apt to transmit HIV.
Here is a link, and trust me there is more on the net regarding this.
