chlamydia can be transmitted through unprotected sex.
Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are infections that spread primarily through person-to-person sexual contact, because sexual contact is the main or original source of infection and the main means of transmission.
Chlamydia can be transmitted during vaginal, anal, and, although less likely, oral sex.
Chlamydia can be transmitted even if the penis or tongue does not enter the vagina, mouth, or rectum. The bacteria also can infect your throat if you have oral sexual contact with an infected partner.
However, in some cases the infected person may pass the infection on without sexual contact, as might be the case when infected mother giving birth,
mother infects baby; or if an infected person donates blood which is later used in a blood transfusion and infects a patient in hospital.
Barrier methods of contraception , especially condoms, thwart the transmission of chlamydia. Using latex condoms consistently and correctly from the very beginning of sexual contact until there is no longer skin contact can reduces the risk of
transmission of chlamydia.
