According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) , chlamydia is the most frequently reported bacterial STI in the United States. In 2018, there were approximately 4 million chlamydial infections among people ages 15–39 years. Because this STI is a bacterial infection, it's treated with antibiotics.

Celia: As many of you know, I've been struggling with a really bad hormonal acne breakout for a year and a half. In recent videos, I let you know that I was on Accutane, and I actually was on it for eight months. And now I have been off for a little bit over a month.
