Wanda recently started a job at a local free womenâs health clinic. She took this job because she was raised in a family that struggled financially, so the free clinics were an important aspect of her childhood health care and she wants to give back to her community. Although the clinic sees women for a variety of issues, the most common visits are related to family planning and prenatal care. Because of this, Wanda is reading about sexually transmitted infections in order to be better at her job. From her school studies, Wanda is familiar with the infectious agent, symptoms, and treatment of many sexually transmitted infections, but she is particularly interested in the statistics from the local Health Department about STI rates in the area. When Wanda reads that C. trachomatis is the most common STI in the region, she decides to investigate this microorganism further.
