American women are getting a warning about screenings for a sexually transmitted disease.
A CDC report reveals that fewer than four out of ten sexually-active women between the ages of 15 and 25 are being screened for chlamydia.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says that puts them at risk for infertility and life-threatening pregnancies.
Chlamydia is the most commonly reported sexually transmitted disease in the U.S., with one-point-three million new cases noted in 2010.
Health officials fear the actual number of infections could be more than double that number. The disease has no symptoms, but can be easily cured with antibiotics.
