A: The percentage of teen-age girls who have had sex with guys and have chlamydia ranges from about 5% to as much as 28%; in most of these young women, there are NO symptoms from this infection but it can do long term harm nonetheless by causing infection and scarring in the tubes. Younger sexually active girls (ages 13-16 years) may actually have higher rates than 19-20 year-olds. In many studies rates are higher in African-American teens than in whites or asians.
