Chlamydia Outbreak in Texas High School, Lack of Sexual Education is to Blame, Experts Say

By Leave a Comment

Chlamydia
A high school from a Texas town is in the middle of a chlamydia outbreak, according to the health officials.

The high school does not offer sexual education classes and some believe this to be one of the reasons for the outbreak.

Several students from the Texas high school contracted Chlamydia, which is a sexually transmitted disease.
The officials say that this is not the only high school that is facing this problem. According to a letter sent to the parents of some of the students who contracted the disease, several other surrounding counties are experiencing the same outbreak.

The letter reads that Crane Independent School District wants to make the parents aware of a problem that has recently been indentified in some of the teenagers and young adults from the community.

In the last two weeks, there have been reported three cases of Chlamydia in Crane County. The Texas State Department of Healt said that health workers have seven days to report the cases to the state.

Recent reports from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention suggest that Chlamydia is one of the most common types of sexual transmitted disease in the United States.

The STD is caused by a specific bacteria and can be transmitted from one partner to another if the partners are engaging in unprotected sexual relations.

The National Institutes of Health says that Chlamydia can be treated with antibiotics.
Most people who have contracted Chlamydia don’t experience any symptoms, however, some women and men can experience burning and tenderness and discharge.

In women, the disease can lead to liver inflammation or to pelvic inflammatory disease.
It can also affect the woman’s capacity of getting pregnant.

According to Crane County’s handbook for 2014-1015 school year, the high school where the chlamydia outbreak occurred does not have a sexual education program.

The handbook says that the high school does not offer a curriculum in human sexuality. The handbook also explains that if there will be such a program, the parents can opt so that their children don’t take the sexual education class.

State law requires that more attention should be spent on teaching the teenagers about abstinence and not other kind of behavior.

Dr. Jennifer Ashton, a senior medical contributor for ABC News said that more than half of her patients who are diagnosed with this type of STD are women under 21.
Dr. Ashton said that a better education on this subject would reduce the number of STD cases among young people.
