    Chlamydia is a sexually transmitted infection (STI) which can affect those that are sexually active, which is to say that it can affect a very large range in age groups through-out the population. It is very interesting in that chlamydia is the most oft reported STI in the United States (Breguet, 2007) with over three million new cases each year (Silverstein & Silverstein-Nunn, 2006). Another very interesting fact is that chlamydia is known as a “silent” disease. That is to say that often times in both men and women there are no symptoms of infection (Ross, 2008). In fact as many as 85% of women and 40% of men who are currently infected are without symptoms (Silverstein, Silverstein, & Silverstein-Nunn, 2006). This can cause severe medical problems later on down the road. This paper will examine what chlamydia actually is, how it is spread and treated, and some of the risk factors associated with acquiring it.…

    There are many types of communicable disease that impact our society. Gonorrhea is a communicable disease that is transmitted through sexual intercourse. This paper will provide a detailed description of the disease and discuss efforts to control it. I will identify the environmental factors and explain the influence of lifestyles, socioeconomic status, and disease management of Gonorrhea. In addition we will identify gaps in resources that are not available at the local level. I will provide recommendations to enhance and expand community programs where gaps have been identified. Then we will evaluate what the public health department is doing to reduce the threat of Gonorrhea and include data findings, evidence-based intervention and a plan to ensure quality health in the community.…

    In Eastern Europe between 1995 and 1999 the incidence of gonorrhea was significantly increased. (WHO/EURO, 1996).The U.S CDC estimates that only 50% of gonorrheal infections are actually reported since the disease often illustrates few or no symptoms. In 2012 the CDC reported 334,826 cases of gonorrhea in the United States with the rate of infection at 107.5/100,000 persons. There was decline in the gonnorheal disease rate from 1975 to 1997 due to significant control programs throughout the 1970s; however, 2012 marked the second consecutive year of increased incidence of gonorrhea. In the United States highest rate of gonorrheal infection is seen in young adults and African Americans; however, between 2002 and 2006 there was 7.7% decline in the the rate of cases per 100,000 population in African Americans (Miller W.C et al., 2004). Between 2005 and 2006 all racial and ethnic groups except Asian/Pacific Islanders saw slight increases in gonorrhea infections. American Indian/Alaska Natives experienced the greatest increase of 22.9%, followed by 17.7% among Caucasians, and 11.8% among Hispanics. A decrease of 1.4% was observed among Asian/Pacific Islanders. (Weinstock H et al., 2004)…
