Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID)

In women, chlamydia can spread to the womb, ovaries or fallopian tubes. This can cause a condition called pelvic inflammatory disease (PID).

PID can cause a number of serious problems, such as:

difficulty getting pregnant or infertility
persistent (chronic) pelvic pain
an increased risk of ectopic pregnancy (where a fertilised egg implants itself outside the womb)

Pregnancy complications

If you have chlamydia that's not treated while you're pregnant, there's a chance you could pass the infection on to your baby. If this happens, your baby may develop an eye infection (conjunctivitis) and lung infection (pneumonia).

Untreated chlamydia in pregnancy may also increase the risk of your baby being born prematurely (before 37 weeks of pregnancy) or with a low birth weight, and might mean you're more likely to have a miscarriage or stillbirth.

You can get chlamydia through:

unprotected vaginal, anal or oral sex
sharing sex toys that aren't washed or covered with a new condom each time they're used
your genitals coming into contact with your partner's genitals – this means you can get chlamydia from someone even if there is no penetration, orgasm or ejaculation
infected semen or vaginal fluid getting into your eye
It can also be passed by a pregnant woman to her baby

1. It could be a chance to discuss safer sex.
2. Partners are able to get tested and treated.
3. Long term Chlamydia can lead to serious consequences such as pregnancy related death secondary to Pelvic Inflammatory Disease.
4. Prevent the spread of infection to past partners who have since engaged in sex with others.
5. Arguably, this is a morally and ethically correct. Preventing information and knowingly allowing sexual partners to go through potential harm is unethical.
6. Early treatment is more cost-effective on the NHS
7. It can be a criminal offence to engage in sexual contact and withhold information about HIV. Why shouldn't it be the same with any STI?

In urban areas they have sexual health clinics, but its so busy you indivudals may feel embarrased in attending the clinics and many indivudals do not know where services are and when to go.
Sexual health services in Cardiff are only open 4 hours a day for sti testing, which is not enough time to see a high demand of individuals in one day. ]]> 2018-03-14 11:35:56 UTC https://padlet.com/johnsone41/4u2d2e2m9z3d/wish/241804255 Nurses role in health promotion https://padlet.com/johnsone41/4u2d2e2m9z3d/wish/241809220 non maleficence and beneficence

Telling your sexual partners is important because it:

is the only way most people will know they have this infection
stops you getting the infection back again
shows your partner that you care about them
reduces the chance of your partner developing serious problems such as infertility
stops your partner passing the infection to others

Remember, most men and women with Chlamydia don’t have any symptoms and so they don’t know they have the infection.

Our health advisors can help you with this task. They can contact your partner(s) and inform them that they may be at risk of the STI you have been diagnosed with, without naming you. To do this, the health advisors will ask you for your partner's or partners' name(s), age(s), and contact details (preferably mobile number).

Some patients may choose to inform their partners themselves. In that case, our health advisors will contact patients after a few weeks to confirm the partner(s) have been informed.

We believe that letting our health advisors contact your partner(s) is the most convenient way for you; we do not usually need to contact you again. Remember, we will never disclose your identity to your partner(s) without your permission.

the study found that 93.2% (138/148) of nurses agreed that it was the clinician's responsibility to support the client in informing their partners by providing information or access to resources.
Almost half (49.4%, 76/154) of the clinicians said that they always or usually referred clients to the LetThemKnow website.

The majority of people (67 per cent) would lie to their partner about having an STI, the poll found.

When asked why, 92 per cent said they wouldn't want to put the other person off sleeping with them.

Shockingly, 10 per cent said they would use a condom for penetrative sex but not for oral sex even if they had an STI.

And eight per cent admitted they would still have sex without a condom.
