Caveats and Definitions
Chlamydia is defined as a micro-organism that infects both men and
women. In adults, it can damage the reproductive organs, sometimes
causing sterility. Gonorrhea is caused by a bacteria which infects the
genital area, or the mouth and throat as a result of oral sex. The
rectum may also become infected.
