&lt;h1 data-start=&quot;229&quot; data-end=&quot;305&quot;&gt;&lt;strong data-start=&quot;236&quot; data-end=&quot;305&quot;&gt;Chlamydia in Hong Kong: The Silent Sneaker You Need to Know About&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p data-start=&quot;307&quot; data-end=&quot;441&quot;&gt;Let&amp;rsquo;s talk about &lt;strong data-start=&quot;324&quot; data-end=&quot;337&quot;&gt;Chlamydia&lt;/strong&gt; &amp;mdash; the sneaky STI that doesn&amp;rsquo;t always show up with warning signs but absolutely deserves your attention.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p data-start=&quot;307&quot; data-end=&quot;441&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 data-start=&quot;443&quot; data-end=&quot;471&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&amp;ldquo;Silent but Serious&amp;rdquo;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p data-start=&quot;472&quot; data-end=&quot;727&quot;&gt;Most people with chlamydia don&amp;rsquo;t even know they have it &amp;mdash; seriously. This bacterial STI often shows &lt;strong data-start=&quot;572&quot; data-end=&quot;594&quot;&gt;no symptoms at all&lt;/strong&gt;, making it one of the most quietly common infections in Hong Kong. That&amp;rsquo;s why regular STI testing isn&amp;rsquo;t just smart &amp;mdash; it&amp;rsquo;s essential.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p data-start=&quot;472&quot; data-end=&quot;727&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 data-start=&quot;729&quot; data-end=&quot;765&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Numbers You Can&amp;rsquo;t Ignore&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p data-start=&quot;766&quot; data-end=&quot;801&quot;&gt;A recent survey in Hong Kong found:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li data-start=&quot;804&quot; data-end=&quot;837&quot;&gt;&lt;strong data-start=&quot;804&quot; data-end=&quot;811&quot;&gt;11%&lt;/strong&gt; of respondents had an STI&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li data-start=&quot;840&quot; data-end=&quot;893&quot;&gt;&lt;strong data-start=&quot;840&quot; data-end=&quot;855&quot;&gt;Young women&lt;/strong&gt; had it worse, with &lt;strong data-start=&quot;875&quot; data-end=&quot;893&quot;&gt;17.5% infected&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li data-start=&quot;896&quot; data-end=&quot;991&quot;&gt;&lt;strong data-start=&quot;896&quot; data-end=&quot;909&quot;&gt;Young men&lt;/strong&gt;? Still at risk &amp;mdash; &lt;strong data-start=&quot;927&quot; data-end=&quot;935&quot;&gt;5.1%&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The most common culprits? &lt;strong data-start=&quot;962&quot; data-end=&quot;990&quot;&gt;Gonorrhoea and Chlamydia&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 data-start=&quot;993&quot; data-end=&quot;1030&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Good News: It&amp;rsquo;s Treatable&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p data-start=&quot;1031&quot; data-end=&quot;1286&quot;&gt;Caught it? Don&amp;rsquo;t panic &amp;mdash; &lt;strong data-start=&quot;1056&quot; data-end=&quot;1104&quot;&gt;chlamydia is easily treated with antibiotics&lt;/strong&gt;. In fact, doctors can often start treatment based on suspicion even before test results come in. But don&amp;rsquo;t skip the testing &amp;mdash; &lt;strong data-start=&quot;1231&quot; data-end=&quot;1255&quot;&gt;confirmation matters&lt;/strong&gt; for proper care and follow-up.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p data-start=&quot;1288&quot; data-end=&quot;1512&quot;&gt;&lt;strong data-start=&quot;1291&quot; data-end=&quot;1303&quot;&gt;Pro Tip:&lt;/strong&gt; If you&amp;rsquo;ve got it, your partner probably does too. Both of you should &lt;strong data-start=&quot;1373&quot; data-end=&quot;1399&quot;&gt;get tested and treated&lt;/strong&gt; &amp;mdash; and yes, hit pause on sex until you&#39;re in the clear to prevent the infection from bouncing back like a bad ex.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p data-start=&quot;1288&quot; data-end=&quot;1512&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 data-start=&quot;1519&quot; data-end=&quot;1552&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;How Does Chlamydia Spread?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p data-start=&quot;1553&quot; data-end=&quot;1608&quot;&gt;One word: &lt;strong data-start=&quot;1563&quot; data-end=&quot;1574&quot;&gt;contact&lt;/strong&gt;. Chlamydia can be passed through:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li data-start=&quot;1611&quot; data-end=&quot;1624&quot;&gt;Vaginal sex&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li data-start=&quot;1627&quot; data-end=&quot;1637&quot;&gt;Anal sex&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li data-start=&quot;1640&quot; data-end=&quot;1650&quot;&gt;Oral sex&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li data-start=&quot;1653&quot; data-end=&quot;1706&quot;&gt;Even during childbirth (yep, babies can get it too)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p data-start=&quot;1708&quot; data-end=&quot;1758&quot;&gt;No matter how you&amp;rsquo;re doing it, protection matters.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p data-start=&quot;1708&quot; data-end=&quot;1758&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p data-start=&quot;1830&quot; data-end=&quot;1902&quot;&gt;Chlamydia likes company. Often, it brings other infections to the party:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;

&lt;li data-start=&quot;2051&quot; data-end=&quot;2108&quot;&gt;&lt;strong data-start=&quot;2051&quot; data-end=&quot;2069&quot;&gt;Genital Herpes&lt;/strong&gt; &amp;ndash; Painful sores, recurring outbreaks&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p data-start=&quot;2401&quot; data-end=&quot;2525&quot;&gt;&lt;strong data-start=&quot;2405&quot; data-end=&quot;2428&quot;&gt;Prevention = Power:&lt;/strong&gt; Use condoms, get tested regularly, and talk to your partners. Your sexual health = your control.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p data-start=&quot;2401&quot; data-end=&quot;2525&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 data-start=&quot;2532&quot; data-end=&quot;2596&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bet You Didn&amp;rsquo;t Know This: Chlamydia Can Affect Your Eyes&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p data-start=&quot;2597&quot; data-end=&quot;2679&quot;&gt;Yup &amp;mdash; &lt;strong data-start=&quot;2603&quot; data-end=&quot;2641&quot;&gt;Chlamydia can cause conjunctivitis&lt;/strong&gt; (aka &amp;ldquo;pink eye&amp;rdquo;), especially through:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li data-start=&quot;2682&quot; data-end=&quot;2698&quot;&gt;Sexual contact&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li data-start=&quot;2701&quot; data-end=&quot;2745&quot;&gt;Touching your eyes with contaminated hands&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li data-start=&quot;2748&quot; data-end=&quot;2778&quot;&gt;Sharing towels or washcloths&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p data-start=&quot;2780&quot; data-end=&quot;2960&quot;&gt;Symptoms? Think &lt;strong data-start=&quot;2796&quot; data-end=&quot;2851&quot;&gt;itching, redness, light sensitivity, blurred vision&lt;/strong&gt;, and &lt;strong data-start=&quot;2857&quot; data-end=&quot;2877&quot;&gt;watery discharge&lt;/strong&gt;. If your eyes are acting weird &amp;mdash; especially post-hookup &amp;mdash; don&amp;rsquo;t wait. Get checked.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p data-start=&quot;2780&quot; data-end=&quot;2960&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 data-start=&quot;2967&quot; data-end=&quot;3010&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bottom Line: Don&amp;rsquo;t Guess, Get Tested&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p data-start=&quot;3011&quot; data-end=&quot;3131&quot;&gt;You can&amp;rsquo;t see it. You might not feel it. But &lt;strong data-start=&quot;3056&quot; data-end=&quot;3082&quot;&gt;Chlamydia is out there&lt;/strong&gt;, and Hong Kong&amp;rsquo;s stats show it&amp;rsquo;s not going away.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p data-start=&quot;3133&quot; data-end=&quot;3209&quot;&gt;✅ Fast, discreet testing&lt;br data-start=&quot;3157&quot; data-end=&quot;3160&quot; /&gt;✅ Easy treatment&lt;br data-start=&quot;3176&quot; data-end=&quot;3179&quot; /&gt;✅ Zero shame, just self-care&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p data-start=&quot;3211&quot; data-end=&quot;3287&quot;&gt;So when was your last STI test?&lt;br data-start=&quot;3242&quot; data-end=&quot;3245&quot; /&gt;If you don&amp;rsquo;t know &amp;mdash; it&amp;rsquo;s time to find out.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3 style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot; data-start=&quot;3289&quot; data-end=&quot;3406&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Book your same-day screening with PULSE CLINIC (Social Enterprise) Hong Kong.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;h3 style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot; data-start=&quot;3289&quot; data-end=&quot;3406&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Your future self will thank you.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p data-start=&quot;286&quot; data-end=&quot;414&quot;&gt;Welcome to your no-shame, all-facts guide to one of the most common &amp;mdash; and most underestimated &amp;mdash; STIs in the city: &lt;strong data-start=&quot;400&quot; data-end=&quot;413&quot;&gt;Chlamydia&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p data-start=&quot;286&quot; data-end=&quot;414&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 data-start=&quot;421&quot; data-end=&quot;476&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Sneaky Infection That Keeps It Quiet&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p data-start=&quot;477&quot; data-end=&quot;704&quot;&gt;Think you&#39;re safe because you feel fine? &lt;strong data-start=&quot;518&quot; data-end=&quot;533&quot;&gt;Think again&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;br data-start=&quot;534&quot; data-end=&quot;537&quot; /&gt;Chlamydia is often &lt;em data-start=&quot;556&quot; data-end=&quot;570&quot;&gt;asymptomatic&lt;/em&gt; &amp;mdash; which means it doesn&amp;rsquo;t always show obvious signs. You could be infected for weeks and not know it. That&amp;rsquo;s why regular testing = key.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h4 data-start=&quot;706&quot; data-end=&quot;733&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What you &lt;em data-start=&quot;718&quot; data-end=&quot;725&quot;&gt;might&lt;/em&gt; notice:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li data-start=&quot;736&quot; data-end=&quot;755&quot;&gt;Pain while peeing&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li data-start=&quot;758&quot; data-end=&quot;809&quot;&gt;Unusual discharge (from vagina, penis, or rectum)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li data-start=&quot;812&quot; data-end=&quot;825&quot;&gt;Painful sex&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li data-start=&quot;828&quot; data-end=&quot;848&quot;&gt;Bleeding after sex&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li data-start=&quot;851&quot; data-end=&quot;868&quot;&gt;Testicular pain&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li data-start=&quot;871&quot; data-end=&quot;890&quot;&gt;Rectal discomfort&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li data-start=&quot;893&quot; data-end=&quot;931&quot;&gt;Sore throat (if oral sex was involved)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 data-start=&quot;938&quot; data-end=&quot;974&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;For Women: What to Look For&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;h4 data-start=&quot;975&quot; data-end=&quot;1055&quot;&gt;Chlamydia can cause &lt;strong data-start=&quot;995&quot; data-end=&quot;1009&quot;&gt;cervicitis&lt;/strong&gt; (inflammation of the cervix).&lt;br data-start=&quot;1039&quot; data-end=&quot;1042&quot; /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Watch for:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li data-start=&quot;1058&quot; data-end=&quot;1078&quot;&gt;Abnormal discharge&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li data-start=&quot;1081&quot; data-end=&quot;1105&quot;&gt;Burning when urinating&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li data-start=&quot;1108&quot; data-end=&quot;1136&quot;&gt;Pelvic or lower belly pain&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li data-start=&quot;1139&quot; data-end=&quot;1156&quot;&gt;Pain during sex&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li data-start=&quot;1159&quot; data-end=&quot;1198&quot;&gt;Bleeding between periods or after sex&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li data-start=&quot;1201&quot; data-end=&quot;1235&quot;&gt;Itching or discomfort down there&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p data-start=&quot;1237&quot; data-end=&quot;1352&quot;&gt;&lt;em data-start=&quot;1240&quot; data-end=&quot;1264&quot;&gt;Fun (but serious) fact&lt;/em&gt;: Many women &lt;strong data-start=&quot;1277&quot; data-end=&quot;1306&quot;&gt;won&amp;rsquo;t notice any symptoms&lt;/strong&gt;. That&amp;rsquo;s why routine screening is a boss move.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p data-start=&quot;1237&quot; data-end=&quot;1352&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 data-start=&quot;1359&quot; data-end=&quot;1398&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;For Men: What to Watch Out For&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p data-start=&quot;1399&quot; data-end=&quot;1491&quot;&gt;In guys, Chlamydia can lead to &lt;strong data-start=&quot;1430&quot; data-end=&quot;1444&quot;&gt;urethritis&lt;/strong&gt; (inflammation of the urethra).&lt;br data-start=&quot;1475&quot; data-end=&quot;1478&quot; /&gt;Look out for:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li data-start=&quot;1494&quot; data-end=&quot;1520&quot;&gt;Discharge from the penis&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li data-start=&quot;1523&quot; data-end=&quot;1553&quot;&gt;Pain or burning while peeing&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li data-start=&quot;1556&quot; data-end=&quot;1586&quot;&gt;Swollen or painful testicles&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li data-start=&quot;1589&quot; data-end=&quot;1624&quot;&gt;Itchy feeling around the genitals&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p data-start=&quot;1626&quot; data-end=&quot;1749&quot;&gt;And yes &amp;mdash; like women &amp;mdash; guys can carry it without symptoms. Don&amp;rsquo;t assume you&#39;re in the clear just because nothing feels off.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p data-start=&quot;1626&quot; data-end=&quot;1749&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 data-start=&quot;1756&quot; data-end=&quot;1800&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What About Anal &amp;amp; Oral Chlamydia?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p data-start=&quot;1801&quot; data-end=&quot;1915&quot;&gt;Let&amp;rsquo;s get real &amp;mdash; Chlamydia doesn&amp;rsquo;t only stick to the genitals. If there&#39;s &lt;strong data-start=&quot;1875&quot; data-end=&quot;1899&quot;&gt;anal or oral contact&lt;/strong&gt;, it can infect:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h4 data-start=&quot;1917&quot; data-end=&quot;1934&quot;&gt;&lt;strong data-start=&quot;1917&quot; data-end=&quot;1934&quot;&gt;The Rectum&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li data-start=&quot;1937&quot; data-end=&quot;1965&quot;&gt;Pain, itching, or bleeding&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li data-start=&quot;1968&quot; data-end=&quot;1993&quot;&gt;Discharge from the anus&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li data-start=&quot;1996&quot; data-end=&quot;2038&quot;&gt;Feeling like you need to poop more often&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;h4 data-start=&quot;2040&quot; data-end=&quot;2057&quot;&gt;&lt;strong data-start=&quot;2040&quot; data-end=&quot;2057&quot;&gt;The Throat&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li data-start=&quot;2060&quot; data-end=&quot;2078&quot;&gt;Red, sore throat&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li data-start=&quot;2081&quot; data-end=&quot;2101&quot;&gt;Trouble swallowing&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li data-start=&quot;2104&quot; data-end=&quot;2136&quot;&gt;Swollen tonsils or white spots&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p data-start=&quot;2138&quot; data-end=&quot;2270&quot;&gt;These symptoms are often &lt;em data-start=&quot;2166&quot; data-end=&quot;2193&quot;&gt;mistaken for other things&lt;/em&gt; or go unnoticed. If you&amp;rsquo;ve had any type of unprotected sex &amp;mdash; &lt;strong data-start=&quot;2255&quot; data-end=&quot;2270&quot;&gt;get tested.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p data-start=&quot;2138&quot; data-end=&quot;2270&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 data-start=&quot;2277&quot; data-end=&quot;2321&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What Happens If You Don&amp;rsquo;t Treat It?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p data-start=&quot;2322&quot; data-end=&quot;2360&quot;&gt;Left untreated, Chlamydia can lead to:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li data-start=&quot;2363&quot; data-end=&quot;2407&quot;&gt;Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID) in women&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li data-start=&quot;2410&quot; data-end=&quot;2468&quot;&gt;Epididymitis (pain in the tubes around testicles) in men&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li data-start=&quot;2471&quot; data-end=&quot;2490&quot;&gt;Rectal infections&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li data-start=&quot;2493&quot; data-end=&quot;2506&quot;&gt;Infertility&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li data-start=&quot;2509&quot; data-end=&quot;2545&quot;&gt;Increased risk of HIV transmission&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p data-start=&quot;2547&quot; data-end=&quot;2579&quot;&gt;Not cute. Not worth the risk.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p data-start=&quot;2547&quot; data-end=&quot;2579&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 data-start=&quot;2586&quot; data-end=&quot;2629&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Testing for Chlamydia in Hong Kong&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p data-start=&quot;3019&quot; data-end=&quot;3110&quot;&gt;Chlamydia can be knocked out with &lt;strong data-start=&quot;3053&quot; data-end=&quot;3068&quot;&gt;antibiotics&lt;/strong&gt;. Easy.&lt;br data-start=&quot;3075&quot; data-end=&quot;3078&quot; /&gt;But here&#39;s what you &lt;strong data-start=&quot;3098&quot; data-end=&quot;3106&quot;&gt;must&lt;/strong&gt; do:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li data-start=&quot;3113&quot; data-end=&quot;3143&quot;&gt;Take your meds as prescribed&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li data-start=&quot;3146&quot; data-end=&quot;3178&quot;&gt;Avoid sex until you&amp;rsquo;re cleared&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li data-start=&quot;3181&quot; data-end=&quot;3224&quot;&gt;Make sure your partner(s) get treated too&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li data-start=&quot;3227&quot; data-end=&quot;3280&quot;&gt;Retest after a few months if you&amp;rsquo;ve got a new partner&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p data-start=&quot;3282&quot; data-end=&quot;3335&quot;&gt;Repeat infections happen. Be proactive, not reactive.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p data-start=&quot;3282&quot; data-end=&quot;3335&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 data-start=&quot;3342&quot; data-end=&quot;3373&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;BONUS: What&amp;rsquo;s DoxyPEP?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
