Situation and vulnerability
Untreated infection can cause pelvic and reproductive complications. Pregnancy and partner care are important.
Signs and limits of their interpretation
Urinary burns, discharge or pain are possible, but their absence does not exclude infection.
Diagnosis and monitoring
Sampling should be consistent with exposed sites. Time frames for post-treatment and re-screening do not answer the same question.
Check these markers in the CDC reference →
Prevention and care
Follow prescribed treatment and sexual contact instructions. The team organises the examinations and treatment of the relevant partners.
Practical issues
Does previous treatment protect against a new infection?
No. Reinfection is possible, especially if an infected partner has not been managed. Prevention remains necessary.
