Which sexually transmitted infection is the most commonly reported in the United States?

Chlamydia is the most commonly reported sexually transmitted infection (STI) in the United States. It is particularly prevalent among adolescents and young adults, making it a significant public health concern. The high incidence of chlamydia is largely attributed to several factors, including the often asymptomatic nature of the infection, which can lead to a lack of awareness and subsequent untreated cases. Public health initiatives focus on screening and education to reduce transmission rates. Because chlamydia can cause serious complications if left untreated, including infertility in both men and women, its high reporting rate highlights the need for ongoing attention to STI prevention and awareness efforts.
