Hi,
Welcome to ehealthforum,
Most common route of transmission is genital or sexual route. If your partner is known to be infected, then you are risk for acquiring the infection. If you suspect chances of infection, go ahead with visiting your doctor/gynecologist for screening tests. Get started on treatment as indicated. Avoid unprotected sexual contact.
Take care.
