Annual screening: is currently recommended or if you have symptoms of discharge or pelvic pain or change in partners. BCP are highly effective for pregnancy protection, but only condoms are protect from STD's. Chlamydia in the vaginal canal can be a silent infection for a long time, but if is ascends into the uterus and tubes during menstruation, it can cause significant pelvic infection, scaring and infertility
