Hello, How is it possible that I have chlamydia? I got tested a few months ago and it’s negative. I have not had any sexual contact with anyone other than my boyfriend and he hasn’t had any sexual contact with anyone other than me. His report was negative. How can I get chlamydia other than sexual intercourse?

@kini Chlamydia is a bacterial infection that’s easily cured with antibiotic medicine. It’s one of the most common STDs, and most people who have chlamydia don’t show any symptoms. There are various ways in which you can STDs other than sexual intercourse. You can get one through contaminated food if you share your clothes and sheets with someone or share a shave, blood transfusion. chlamydia cannot live outside the body, such as on toilet seats, bath towels, or bed linens. If there was a droplet of body fluid containing chlamydia, and this was left on a towel or toilet seat, then it is conceivable that if it were not there too long, then it might be possible to have the organism transmitted to another person. However, just because chlamydia touches your skin or buttocks, this is not sufficient for you to get the infection. The organism would have to come in contact with suitable body tissue such as the cervix, urethra or cornea of the eye, to survive. Thank You.
