Chlamydia is the most prevalent curable sexual transmitted infection in Australia (1,2). In 2008, it was nearly 60,000 cases reported and in 2012 around 82,707 cases had been diagnosed (3,4), the annual surveillance report from Kirby institute (2015) shows that the chlamydia incidence is quite high among Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island population over the past five years (2).
The cause of high prevalence of chlamydia infection is mainly because insufficient attention towards the STI among indigenous population. The strategy of council of Australian governments to “close the gap” in health disparity is mainly focus on chronic diseases mortality and mother-child health improvement, with a small focus on sexually transmitted infection (1).
