Chlamydia doesn't cause a person to become sterile.  Because it has no symptoms, you can have it for a long time and not know it.  It can cause something called Pelvic Inflammatory Disease. PID can cause you to become sterile, because after it is treated, with the passage of time, scar tissue builds up and attaches to the ovaries and Fallopian tubes, which then can make it hard to get pregnant.  So it really depends on the person, and how much scar tissue builds up, and many other factors as to whether the person becomes sterile or not.

Mono aka the "Kissing Disease" is a transferred by close contact, including kissing and sharing drinks. It's commonly found in young adults and children. In fact, 35% of kids get it (I had it my junior year of high school) and more than 95% of the population is infected with it. Luckily, as you get older, you develop an immunity to it and no longer show any symptoms.\n\nAlso, the incubation period of the virus is 4-7 weeks so it's hard to be sure of exactly how you might have gotten it once you start showing symptoms.

can range from hours to days, depends on the person immunity status and the virulence of the organism involved

Well, if you and your friend were aardvarking in bed, you don't have much to worry about because the sheets would be changed and laundered.  Bye-bye proof.\n\nIf you were being creative and it wasn't in the bathtub or shower, it is there until it is washed away.\n\nSperm can live for 3 - 5 days in a hospitable environment.  If every womb were an ideal environment, there would be many more pregnancies.\n\nThe answer to the unasked question: while sperm can live for several days, there is only 24 hours for conception, UNLESS your partner does something biologically unusual, such as ovulate twice (source of fraternal twins).

Cytomegalovirus (CMV)\n\nA virus that infects 50-85% of adults in the US by age 40 and is also the virus most frequently transmitted to a child before birth. Persons with symptoms have amononucleosis-like syndrome with prolonged fever and mild hepatitis. Once a person becomes infected, the virus remains alive and usually dormant within that person's body for life. Recurrent disease rarely occurs unless the person's immune system is suppressed due to therapeutic drugs or disease. CMV infection is therefore a concern because of the risk of infection to the unborn baby, people who work with children, and immunodeficient people such as transplant recipients and those with HIV.\n\nSpread of CMV is from person to person. Infection requires close contact with a person excreting the virus in their saliva, urine, or other bodily fluids. CMV can be sexually transmitted. It can also be transmitted via breast milk, transplanted organs and, rarely, blood transfusions.Although the virus is not highly contagious, it has been shown to spread in households and among young children in day care centers. \n\nTransmission of the virus is often preventable because it is most often transmitted through infected bodily fluids that come in contact with hands and then are absorbed through the nose or mouth of a susceptible person. Therefore, care should be taken when handling children and items like diapers. Simple hand washing with soap and water is effective in removing the virus from the hands.\n\nDuring pregnancy when a woman becomes infected with CMV, there is a risk that the infant may be born with CMV and have CMV-related complications. On the other hand, infants and children who acquire CMV after birth have few, if any, symptoms or complications. \n\nCMV is the most important cause of congenital viral infection in the US. For infants who are infected by their mothers before birth, two potential pictures exist:\n\nGeneralized infection may occur in the infant, and symptoms may range from moderate enlargement of the liver and spleen (with jaundice) to fatal illness. With supportive treatment, most infants with CMV disease survive. However, from 80% to 90% have complications within the first few years of life that may include hearing loss, vision impairment, and varying degrees of mental retardation. \nAnother 5% to 10% of infants who are infected have no symptoms at birth but subsequently have varying degrees of hearing and mental or coordination problems.

Normall it takes about two weeks with anitbiotics,  If she isnt getting better at all, she should see her doctor, the antibiotic may not be working or she could have developed a tolerance for it.  It is as infectous as a cold or sore throat, but of course if you dont have tonsils or adenoids, its a lot harder to get.  The key is a lot of liquids and gargle with salt water.  Stay away from milk products.

I'd ask your fertility expert prior to taking anything with clomid. My wife had a bad reaction to clomid once.

im a little confued did you have both clymidia and hpv if you do that is very possible. hpv does not take a few months. my boyfriend has genital warts (aka hpv) and he thought it could only be passed when he has a break out which is not true. any way i had a break out of genital whart 2 wks later. if you have any more questions or need support feel free to write back i'll be more than happy to help. if you do have hpv keep up on your pap smears becaus it can cause cervical cancer, and remember that hpv is not curable but it may go away over time if your body gets immune to it.

Sequential blood samples were evaluated from 3 subjects with AHIV (negative HIV EIA, positive HIV RNA), identified 2-3 days before peak viremia (pre-peak). HIV RNA levels and CD4 counts before antiretroviral therapy were used to estimate HIV doubling time (t(d)) and, the basic reproductive number (R(0)). HIV t(d) was calculated from the slope of ln(RNA) vs. time during rising viremia. Maximal estimates of t(d) were 1.6-3.5 days.\nhttp://www.aegis.com/conferences/croi/1998/521.html

Chlamydia\n\nChlamydia is the most common STD in the United States, and also the most invisible.\nChlamydia is a microscopic parasite that can cause sterility in women and men. Four million American men and women become infected every year.\n\nIn women, chlamydia infects the cervix and can spread to the urethra, Fallopian tubes and ovaries. It can cause bladder infections and serious pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), sterility and ectopic pregnancy, which occurs when a fertilized egg implants in tissue outside of the uterus, and the placenta and fetus begin to develop there. Up to 40 percent of women with untreated chlamydia will develop PID. Of those with PID, 20 percent will become infertile. In men, chlamydia infects the urethra and may spread to the testicles, causing epididymitis, which can cause sterility.\n\nChlamydia can also lead to Reiter's syndrome, especially in young men. Reiter's syndrome involves eye infections, urethritis and arthritis. \n\n\nSymptoms and how chlamydia is spread\n\nSymptoms of chlamydia include the following:\n\n\nDischarge from the penis or vagina\n\nPain or burning while urinating, more than usual urination\n\nExcessive vaginal bleeding\n\nPainful intercourse for women\n\nSpotting between periods or after intercourse\n\nAbdominal pain, nausea, fever\n\nInflammation of the rectum or cervix\n\nSwelling or pain in the testicles \nSeventy-five percent of women with chlamydia have no symptoms. Many women discover they have chlamydia only because their partners are found to be infected. Other women discover that they must have had it for some time when they are treated for the infertility that it can cause.\n\nIf symptoms appear, they do so in seven to 21 days. If your partner is a man, and he has a urinary tract infection, you may have chlamydia.\n\nOnly one in four men with chlamydia have no symptoms. \n\nChlamydia is spread by vaginal and anal intercourse or from the birth canal to the fetus. In rare cases, it can be spread from the hand to the eye. Condoms offer very good protection against chlamydia.\n\nChlamydia can be confused with gonorrhea and other conditions. Examination of tissue samples or urine is necessary for correct diagnosis.\n\nBoth partners can be treated successfully with antibiotics.

Yes, you can still develop an STD.  Hepatitus can take 6-8 months to develop or become apparent in a person.  Blood tests are the best way to know for sure.  There are others that take 3 or more months to develop.

My son has been on peritoneal dialysis for 2 years. Before you (or the patient you are referring to) goes home, you (s/he) will have training at the clinic, where nurses will teach you about the procedure. It is not hard at all, but you have to follow very strict sterile procedures, in order to not infect the patient.
