Primary prevention aims to prevent the onset of the disease through risk reduction, such as preventing exposure to disease risk factors. The primary prevention strategy of chlamydia control is to promote safe sex (using condoms or other barriers). Using condoms during sex intercourse can prevent the exposure to the bacterium Chlamydia trachomatis. This healthy behavior approach not only reduces the risk of being exposed to chlamydia, but also provides protection from other STDs. The secondary prevention of chlamydia infection entails the prevention of pathological changes after infection through screening and early intervention. Early screening and detection of the asymptomatic infection will lead to timely treatment before the onset of pathological changes in the reproductive system that lead to more serious consequences, such as PID and damage to the fallopian tubes.
