In the brochure I got today (yip my results came in positive too) it says 1 in 1000 (newborns) are affected by it
A positive result is only reliable for the next 5 weeks
A third of men & woman carry it in their intestines and a quarter of woman carry it in their vagina
Doesn't cause any problems or symptoms for us
