"Increasing by 300 a year it will be a rare disease for another 140 years."
As more people become infected, more people will be at risk, so the rate of increase will also increase.
You will not see a steady 300 per year, but a similar percentage each year, itself increasing slightly as the pool of vulnerable young girls gets having unprotected sexgets proportionately smaller.
10% of young women have chlamydia.
thats around 300,000.
around the same number as think you can't get pregnant standing up.
And I would argue, probably the same number of women that could eventually be infected with HIV if nothing is done to change young peoples habits.
