Xa kuziwa ekuthinteleni ii-STD, inye kuphela impendulo: Ziqhelanise nokwabelana ngesondo ngokukhuselekileyo. Njalo. Kodwa kwanabo baneenjongo ezintle abasoloko besebenzisa iikhondom ngepesenti eyi-100 ngokuchanekileyo, iipesenti ezili-100 zexesha (ngomlomo, ezimpundu, ubufazi konke kubandakanyiwe), yiyo loo nto ke kufuneka ukhuthalele ukufumana iimvavanyo ze-STD rhoqo.

Ngale nto ithethwayo, olunye uphando lutsha luthi kungekudala kungabikho gonyo lokuthintela ubuncinci i-STD eyoyikisayo: i-chlamydia. I-STD (kuzo zonke iintlobo zayo ezahlukeneyo) yenze eyona nxalenye inkulu ye-STD exelwe kwi-CDC ngaphezulu kweminyaka engamashumi amabini. (Emuva ngo-2015, i-CDC yade yabiza ukuvuka kwesi sifo ngubhubhani!) Eyona nto imbi kukuba usenokungazi ukuba unayo, njengoko abantu abaninzi bengenalusini. Ngaphandle konyango olululo, i-STD inokubangela usulelo oluphezulu lwamalungu esini sangasese, isifo sokuvuvukala kweplavic, kunye nokungachumi.

Kodwa abaphandi kwiYunivesithi yaseMcMaster baye baphuhlisa isitofu sokuqala esikhusela kakhulu kwi-chlamydia besebenzisa i-antigen eyaziwa ngokuba yi-BD584. I-antigen icingelwa ukuba yindlela yokuqala yokukhusela yokukhusela uhlobo oluqhelekileyo lwe-chlamydia. Ukuvavanya amandla ayo, abaphandi banike isitofu sokugonya, esasilawulwa ngeempumlo, kubantu abanosulelo olukhoyo lwe-chlamydia.

Bafumanise ukuba isitofu sokugonya sinciphise kakhulu "chlamydial shedding", nesisiphumo secala eliqhelekileyo lemeko, ebandakanya intsholongwane ye-chlamydia ukusasaza iiseli zayo, ngama-95 eepesenti. Abasetyhini abane-chlamydia banokufumana ukuvaleka kwimibhobho yakhe ye-Fallopian okubangelwa kukwakhiwa kolwelo, kodwa isitofu sokugonya solingo sikwazile ukunciphisa olu phawu ngaphezu kwama-87 epesenti. Ngokwababhali bophononongo, ezi ziphumo zibonisa ukuba isitofu sabo sokugonya sinokuba sisixhobo esinamandla hayi nje ekunyangeni i-chlamydia kodwa ekuthinteleni isifo kwasekuqaleni.

Ngelixa kufuneka ngakumbi ukukhula ukuze kuvavanywe ukusebenza kwesitofu kwiindidi ezahlukeneyo ze-chlamydia, abaphandi bathi bakholelwa ukuba iziphumo ziyakhuthaza. (Zikhusele ngolwazi kwaye uqaphele ii-STD zokulala eziyingozi kwabaseTyhini.)
