Chlamydia

What is Chlamydia?

Chlamydia is a common STD that can infect both men and women. It can cause serious, permanent damage to a woman’s reproductive system.

How is Chlamydia caught?

You can get chlamydia by having vaginal, anal, or oral sex with another person who has chlamydia.

 

If your partner is male, you can still get chlamydia even if he does not ejaculate.

 

If you’ve had chlamydia and were treated in the past, you can still get infected again. This can happen if you have unprotected sex with someone who has chlamydia.

How do I know if I have Chlamydia?

Women with symptoms may notice. Most people who have chlamydia have no symptoms. If you do have symptoms, they may not appear until several weeks after you have sex with an infected partner. Even when chlamydia causes no symptoms, it can damage your reproductive system.
