- [Narrator] The Navy and Marine Corps Public Health Center
presents: Sexual Health Quickie, Chlamydia.
If you're a woman under the age of 24,
then you should have an annual test for chlamydia.
No pelvic exam is needed, just a urine specimen.
The test is important because many young women in the U.S.,
and in the military, are infected with chlamydia
and don't know it, because chlamydia doesn't usually
cause any symptoms in women until it gets very serious.
Untreated, chlamydia can harm your reproductive system,
and even cause you to become sterile.
During your next periodic health assessment,
or your next doctor's visit, ask your military doc
for your annual chlamydia test.
