Who's at risk?

Well everyone is at risk if you can call it a risk, because there are almost never any signs or symptoms it goes unnoticed in most people, people with HIV are more at risk because of the lower immune system. If symptoms occur then they include fever, sore throat, diarrhoea and nausea. May cause other major problem like blindness though rare.

Pregnancy women can pass it to unborn babies and they are at risk of miscarriage or birth defects if it is early in a pregnancy.

Unless it is causing major problems then it is never treated, but can be treated by antibiotics.
