Uma kuziwa ekuvimbeleni ama-STD, kunempendulo eyodwa kuphela: Zijwayeze ucansi oluphephile. Njalo. Kepha nalabo abanezinhloso ezinhle kakhulu abawasebenzisi njalo amakhondomu ngamaphesenti ayi-100 ngendlela efanele, amaphesenti ayi-100 esikhathi (ngomlomo, ngendunu, ngesitho sangasese sowesifazane konke kufakiwe), yingakho kufanele ukhuthalele ukuthola izivivinyo ze-STD njalo.

Ngalokho kusho, olunye ucwaningo olusha luthi kungekudala kungabakhona umgomo wokuvimbela okungenani i-STD eyodwa esabekayo: i-chlamydia. I-STD (kuzo zonke izinhlobo zayo ezahlukahlukene) yakha ingxenye enkulu kunazo zonke yama-STD abikwe kwi-CDC isikhathi esingaphezu kwamashumi amabili eminyaka. (Emuva ngonyaka we-2015, i-CDC yaze yafika ekubizeni ukuvuka kwalesi sifo ubhubhane!) Okubi kakhulu ukuthi kungenzeka ungazi nokuthi unaso, njengoba abantu abaningi bengenazimpawu. Ngaphandle kokwelashwa okufanele, i-STD ingadala ukutheleleka okuphezulu kwezitho zangasese, isifo sokuvuvukala okhalweni, kanye nokuzala.

Kepha abacwaningi baseMcMaster University benze umuthi wokuqala wokuvikela umuthi wokuvikela i-chlamydia besebenzisa i-antigen eyaziwa nge-BD584. I-antigen kucatshangwa ukuthi iyindlela yokuqala yokuzivikela kuhlobo oluvame kakhulu lwe-chlamydia. Ukuhlola amandla ayo, abacwaningi banikeza umuthi wokugoma, owawunikezwa ngamakhala, kubantu abanesifo esivele sikhona i-chlamydia.

Bathole ukuthi umgomo wehlise kakhulu "i-chlamydial shedding", okuwumphumela ojwayelekile wesimo, obandakanya igciwane le-chlamydia elisakaza amaseli alo, ngamaphesenti angama-95. Abesifazane abane-chlamydia bangase babhekane nokuvaleka kumashubhu akhe e-Fallopian abangelwa ukwakheka koketshezi, kepha umuthi wokugoma wesivivinyo ukwazile ukunciphisa lesi sibonakaliso ngamaphesenti angaphezu kwama-87. Ngokusho kwababhali bocwaningo, le miphumela ikhombisa ukuthi umuthi wokugoma wabo ungaba yisikhali esinamandla hhayi nje ekwelapheni i-chlamydia kepha nasekuvikeleni lesi sifo kwasekuqaleni.

Ngenkathi kudingeka ukuthuthukiswa okwengeziwe ukuhlola ukusebenza komuthi ezinhlotsheni ezahlukahlukene ze-chlamydia, abacwaningi bathi bakholelwa ukuthi imiphumela iyakhuthaza. (Zivikele ngolwazi futhi wazi ama-STD wokulala ayingozi kwabesifazane.)
