re: covelogibbs
Because, says the article, it's the most common STI (or "STD," if you're old-fashioned) in the UK. Furthermore:
"Allan Pacey, senior lecturer in andrology at the University of Sheffield and secretary of the British Fertility Society, said that the emerging understanding of how chlamydia affects male fertility should change the way that society approaches the condition.
'We might think of chlamydia as a disease that damages female fertility, but we need to think again,' he said. 'It does damage female fertility, but it appears to damage male fertility, too.
'Previously, it was thought that the most worrying thing about chlamydia infections in men was as a conduit for the infection of women. The thing that drives most men to sexual health clinics is symptoms, and chlamydia is often symptom-free. Chlamydia is getting out of control.' "

Ew. That's one way to bring about population control, I suppose.
