Chlamydia is often asymptomatic. Why might it be important for an individual to know if he or she were infected?

Chlamydia is a disease transmitted by sex with someone infected. Its caused by bacteria and often is asymptomatic.

Treatment is with antibiotics, and it's essential to know if one is infected because in women can cause infertility, and in males can cause urethra complications like inflammation and obstruction.
