With just a click, young people order home a test for STDs. There, among other things, they can get an answer as to whether they have the genital disease mycoplasma genitalium that is quite unknown to the public.

"It's basically the same symptom as for chlamydia," explains Peter Nolskog.

Gender disease was discovered in the 1980s, but it has taken time to examine it because it is difficult to take samples, Nolskog says. The disease is contagious, but at the same time is not obliged to notify under the Infection Protection Act.

Tests worry unnecessarily

Peter Nolskog is critical of the fact that the tests are so easily accessible and that it can worry young people who get a positive response. Because even if you get a positive response, it does not mean that you have symptoms of the disease.

- You don't have to treat just because you find a bacterium, but it can be difficult for people to understand that they have to go around with a bacterium in the body.

Peter Nolskog is worried about antibiotic resistance.

- The problem with the bacterium is that it very easily becomes resistant to antibiotics. If you treat those who have no problems then all treatment becomes impossible in the future.

The problem is also that the disease is unexplored. Researchers are wondering if the bacterial infection can cause fallopian tube growth, which in turn can lead to infertility. But today you do not know for sure.

But if you do not really know the consequences of the disease, is it not important to treat then?

- Normally, you would probably treat the disease for safety, because you do not know what the consequences can be. But we know that the consequence of treating means that it is not possible to treat fairly soon. That is why I believe that only those with clear problems - such as pain and problems that you feel - should be treated with antibiotics, emphasizes Peter Nolskog.
