People are mostly shy and embarrassed to talk about any issues related to their sexual health. The unfortunate part is, some are shy to seek medical attention if any symptoms surfaces. Sexual health issues such as sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) are common. One of the most common STDs in Malaysia is chlamydia. Chlamydia is a bacterial infection which is highly contagious and can be easily passed on during unprotected sex.  

It is common among young women and it can cause infertility. Untreated chlamydia can lead to pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), as well as sterility and pregnancy problems. Newborn babies may also be infected during delivery as the baby passes through the birth canal. Exposed newborns that are infected are at a higher risk of developing eye and lung infections
