How do people become colonized with this? Are women born with it in their reproductive tract? It does'nt make sense that nature would do that if it can seriously harm a baby. (you can get a bladder infection from sex with a new partner but that is not an STD. My meaning is that everything tranmitted via sex is not considered an STD) Things can be transmitted by sex but they are not a *disease*.
