How is Chlamydia Transmitted? Posted: 09-20-06 09:13am
Hi, i went to the doctor and was tested
positive for Chlamydia. It's very
important for me to know if there is
anyway possible that you can get Chlamydia
without it being sexually transmitted. I
have tried to search for answers online
but I really wanted a real opinion and a
doctors insight. If you could please help
me out it would be greatly appreciated.
Me and my sexual partner are trying to
figure out how the infection was
started.

Chlamydia can be transmitted only via
unprotected sexual intercourse. Your
sexual partner also MUST be checked for
possible Chlamydia infection. Then both
you and your partner can reconsider your
sexual behavior inside and outside your
relationship.
