Chlamydia and Pregnancy
Posted: 01-07-08 00:37am

k , so when a guy has chlamydia (or i guess any other form of an STD), when he ejaculates can you still get pregnant? is there still "live" sperm or is it basically killed off by the infection? this girl i know was actually messing w/ two guys when she got chlamydia and gonorrhea... she found out she got it when she was infected when she was pregnant, so she got it from one guy or the other, and she probably got pregnant from the guy who didn't have it, right?

she would need a dna test
clamydia is the most common cause of infertility in women

the sperm doesnt die it is infact still alive and she can get pregnant AND get the std as well
is she pregnant? has she been to the dr?

oh, no. this was a long time ago. her baby is like 9 months now. she knows who the father is, too. that just really makes the question was it him who had the std, or the other guy? chlamydia can only lead to infertility if it causes PID, and that is if it doesnt get caught soon.


i was just diagnosed w/ chlamydia. ;[ well, ish...

or maybe she even had it and gave it to them? who knows ya know

clamydia can be treated though which is a good thing

yeah, i know. i was just wondering if someone who has it shoots dead sperm. haha... i just didn't know if the sperm could be active since it comes from the same place the std does? a little confusing.
