PREVENTION OF CHLAMIDIOSIS
Prevention of Clamidiosis and Contamination Risk Reduction
- Sexual continence is the best way to prevent clamidiosis contamination.
- Use of condoms when you have sexual contacts is necessary.
- Having only one healthy sexual partner for whom you are the only sexual partner as well (mutual monogamy).
- Use spermicides with condoms which provide additional protection during vaginal sexual contact. But during oral or anal sexual contact spermicides are useless.
- If you often change sexual partners you should regularly undergo medical tests.
- If any sexually transmitted disease has been detected in you or your partner, you shouldn’t have sex, until you both have been completely cured.
- Timely and qualified medical aid, adequate therapy and proper follow-up will provide complete and prompt recovery.
- Reasonable choice of a sexual partner and awareness of his or her STD status will protect you from sexual infections like Clamidiosis.
Follow-up
- Take all prescribed medical drugs even if symptoms disappear until you complete the whole treatment course.
- All partners should be checked up.
- You should inform all people you have sex with. Sexual continence is necessary until all partners are completely cured.
