OVERVIEW

Chlamydia and gonorrhea are two common sexually transmitted infections (STIs) caused by bacteria. Chlamydia is caused by the bacterium Chlamydia trachomatis, while gonorrhea is caused by the bacterium Neisseria gonorrhoeae. Both infections can be transmitted through vaginal, anal, or oral sex, and can lead to serious health complications if left untreated. It is important to practice safe sex and get regular STI screenings to prevent and detect these infections early on.

Gonorrhea and chlamydia can both be “silent infections,” meaning they don’t show any symptoms at all. Testing is the only method to determine with certainty if you are positive for any of these STDs.
